5 Mile Uniform Reef

This reef is quite flat with wide patches of scattered coral and sand patches around them. It takes its name from the way the shape of the contoured coral resembles a lettuce with thousands of leaves spread out in a uniform pattern. This reef is a kingdom of juveniles, with chocolate dips in their thousands, small Triggerfish, Damsels, Soldier fish and various types of Goldies everywhere to be seen. There are also Potato bass, Butterfly fish, Tiger angels and Coral beauties hiding under the coral formations. Although this is a deep reef, it is just as exquisite as the shallower reefs and its unique beauty is definitely worth visiting.
