St. George's Reef offers a diverse underwater experience, particularly interesting for those seeking to practice navigation skills. The reef is located in a sheltered area and features a maze of shallow swim-throughs and short canyons – ideal for developing natural orientation. One highlight is the wreck of an old yacht, now partially buried in the sand, guarded by a large grouper for over a decade. Exploring south from the reef, divers can discover several species of crabs, both soft-shelled and hard-shelled, as well as a shoal of baby barracuda and remnants of ancient amphorae fused into the rocks. A second route, largely unexplored, branches off to the left from the dive boat and offers more opportunities to encounter additional pieces of the yacht's remains, old vehicle parts, and a variety of fish species including rays. Visibility is generally good in this area.
