What is the house reef like at Eden Beach, and how close is it to Bari reef? Also, do the apartments have porches?

Hi Mary ...the down stair 2 bedroom apartments have nice porches with a table and chairs. The upstairs studios have small side porches. The house reef is mostly a rubble field with a web cam at 60ft. and 2 wreaks...1 a little below the cam and the other about 60 meters north. Both wreaks start at about 60ft.

HI Mary - you can swim over to the Bari reef from Eden Beach. I stayed at Sand Dollar and swam the other way - over to the cams - not a bad swim and then dive back. And yes is is mostly coral rubble until you come up to the Bari.

We stopped there to do our second dive of the morning and there is nothing there but the "40 Feet Underwater Exposition" which in my opinion is a complete waste of time (and $5 if you paid for it)

Meredith is right....there are a lot of fish. I found a frog fish and a horse fish in the day....lots of nice tarpon and lobster at night.

Clarification: There is not a lot of reef near the web cam: a beautiful wreck, not lots of reef. Just south east of the web cam are a few coral heads with lots of little critters. I spotted lots of orange sided gobies and a few triple fins.

There's not a lot of reef at *any* of the "house dives" from what I could tell, supported by Jesse's descriptions. There's a bunch of rubble, and only small sparse groups of live corals.
