My wife's family and I took our first dive at Bari Reef. It was a morning dive with a great reward. We saw lots of shrimp, eels, corals, fish, and marine life.

Easy access, reef in 20', dense sloping wall of hard corals, soft corals, and sealife. This is always my second dive of the day.

Bari reef is one of the few spots that we dove that had some sand between the corals. On most of the island the coral growth is so lush and dense that it actually makes it a little dark.

Many beautiful fish to greet you as soon as you walk into the water! Especially awesome for shore snorkeling & diving. Great sunsets, too!

Fairly easy entry - great structure! Just south of Buddies, plenty of parking. There is a lot of healthy coral here and we had heard the biggest variety of fish - I would think the same fish would be at all of the dive sites but for some reason when we were on Bari Reef there actually did seem like...

Amazing diving steps from our condo with great service from Dive Friends which has a location at the Sand Dollar. Probably our favorite dive site on the island.

easy access from shore, great night diving, although other shore dives were more exciting. But needed a truck to get there.
