Paradise Reef.
Paradise Reef is a reef and mini wall in Old Road Bay, large enough for two dives on its seaward and landward sides. It is a mooring site of large coral heads and swim-through canyons, and old anchors lie on the reef. The corals are in good condition and visibility is usually excellent.
