Fishers Pedestal
 
Depth: 20'-30' Experience: Open Water

This reef is located on the inside of the middle reef in a large open sandy area. Three large mushroom-shaped coral heads emerge from the sand to form a triangle. Reminiscent of a pedestal, these towering coral heads begin in 30 feet of water and rise to about 18 feet from the surface.

This site abounds with cleaning stations. Tiny neon gobies and patient Pederson cleaning shrimp service the numerous fish taking advantage of this "work station" by removing unwanted parasites from their gills and scales. You will often notice tiger grouper and barracudas in line waiting their turn under the arch. This is also home to many barracuda, and they seem to have breeding grounds there.
