2 Mile Reefs - Simon’s Cave

This reef has overhangs, gullies, ledges and a big enough cave to swim through. The reef also has big sand patches between parts of the reef and has a large quantity of fish life, allowing divers to swim through schools of Fusiliers, Snappers and in particular, big black Knifejaws standing guard in the opening of the cave. Various fish species were found in the area and included Goldie’s, Seabreams and Damsels and Royal Angelfish. On the outside of the cave you will find the most beautiful coral life in pastel colours, from peach Fleshy coral to Yellow sponges, Whip coral and everything in between. The hard coral consisted of Table coral, Staghorn coral, Plate coral and Spiky coral. Various Nudibranchs in different sizes and colours were spotted on the reef.
