My first seahorse!!! And my first toadfish!!!
And on a second dive... an octopus at night!!!!
And then a third dive... so fellow divers could see the seahorse - and we found another one!!!
Paradise Reef is the first reef in the Marine Park. Because it is close to many dive operators, it is a popular second tank dive and night dive. It consists of three long back bone like coral ridges, running parallel to the shore, end-to-end. Coral formations are medium size, but sponges here are up to 6ft wide and the life over the reef is abundant and very colorful.
