Kathleen’s Reef, off Barefoot Beach, is named after the Geneva Kathleen, a three-masted schooner that sank in 1930. While her wooden remains have rotted away, snorkelers can still find parts of her equipment in shallow water east of the beach, though it’s too shallow for diving.
The dive site lies beyond the barrier reef. Visibility can be affected by lagoon outflow, but on a good day, it’s spectacular. Expect diverse sponges, towering feather plumes, and classic spur-and-groove formations typ…

The dive site lies beyond the barrier reef. Visibility can be affected by lagoon outflow, but on a good day, it’s spectacular. Expect diverse sponges, towering feather plumes, and classic spur-and-groove formations typical of the north side.
Check inside barrel sponges for lobsters—they may peek out and wave their antennae at you! Yellow Tube Sponges often host juvenile Bluehead Wrasse, which swarm toward sand disturbances, hunting for food.
Just east of the mooring, a large overhang provides a perfect hiding spot for Spotted Drums. If one darts into a hole, stay still—it will likely come back out before long!
