This dive site, Bikini Reef, is located just offshore from the southern end of 2 Mile reef. It offers three distinct diving areas: The Northern Wall, known for its macro photography opportunities; Mellow Yellow, situated on the southern end and characterized by nutrient-rich waters teeming with yellow snappers; and Hopscotch, a deeper arm extending out to sea. The northern wall boasts a cleaning station that’s a haven for macro enthusiasts. On the southern end, you'll find large schools of yellow snappers in the midwaters, contributing to its name.
