Like many South Florida Reefs, Abbey Too Reef is a section of the outer reef, running
parallel to the shoreline. The highest concentration of sea life and
coral cover is on the western facing ledge (main ledge). There is a wide
variety of reef fish. Grouper, snapper, jacks, barracuda, and moray
eels. Trumpetfish and spotfin drums have also been seen here. There is
lobster in the caves along the base and top of the reef. The second dive
will be on a different reef with a similar profile.
Start out in either the north end hook or the Rabbit Ear Pass (depending
on the current) and drift along the main ledge. This is the best scenic
route. If you are lobstering sometimes it pays to venture to the deep
side of the reef (east) to the Spur & Groove or to the false ledge to the west
