Cabel Reef is a unique site featuring a combination of natural reef and artificial structures created in 1996. Located between Black Rock and Rainbow Reef, the site is defined by four electrical cables running across the seabed. To the north, these cables pass through a deep canyon, where large metal tubes and steel netting have been installed to prevent structural collapse. Coral growth is now visible on the netting. Divers can access the site from the shore or by boat, with depths ranging from 5 to 30 metres. Conditions are generally suitable for beginners, though visibility can vary between 10 and 30 metres.
