Cathedral
Dive site
A dramatic spur-and-groove coral formation on the reserve's southern margin where massive star and brain corals form columns reminiscent of Gothic arches. Schoolmaster snapper school densely in the grooves, permit patrol the sandy channels, and the site marks the beginning of the south-facing wall that runs uninterrupted to Glover's Reef.
