Windmill Shallows
With no windmills, and depths around 25m/83ft it’s hard to know just how this site gets its name. None-the-less a fantastic deep reef covered in brain coral and home to large grouper. This reef also offers a skeleton of a wrecked catamaran AKA: “Rhum Runner” which lies off the reef in a deep sand patch around 30m/99ft, which adds an interesting addition to the reef. The wreck itself is patrolled by great barracuda, and large southern stingrays are often seen camouflaged in the sandy bed.
Dive Master Notes
A free decent into 18m/60ft where the reef is at its shallowest, then slopes to 28m/93ft where it shelves off to the sandy bottom. The wreck is not visible from the reef. Once you leave the reef swimming towards the wreck you will find enough time to swim around the wreck a few times before heading back to the reef wall to continue the dive and extend bottom time. Recommended level of experience: AOW or proof of deep dive experience.
