Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Mangel Halto Reef

Mangel Halto Reef is exciting in that you practically walk on the water out to the reef edge before putting on your fins. There are two entries for this dive: one from a large sunning beach, and the other just North off the main road. A 100m South of the Southern 1A 4A intersection, turn West for 300m. Then turn left for 1km passing over the Spanish Lagoon. Turn right and wind your way for about 1km. You'll see the entrances on your right.

My husband and I snorkeled this location today. Entering from the shore is easy, they built a dock and have a ladder to the water. We left our stuff on the dock and it was all there when we got back (including a camera my husband forgot was in the bag!). it is very shallow initially and there is a lot of sea grass...if you go out farther you will see some beautiful Elkhorn corals and abundant sealife. The 6 cuttlefish we saw in some of the more shallow water (closer to the broken pier on the right), and the honeycomb cowfish were my favorites and things you don't see as commonly.
