There was a time when White Bay was redlined by many charter companies. Not sure that is still the case, but this shows exactly why it was. I will never forget snorkelling in the bay and seeing the debris of a boat wreck. I had no idea it had happened a couple of days beforehand and it was shocking to see things like crockery, cutlery, pillows and towels on the sea bed, plus untold damage to the coral reef. Not a place for an over night stay unless you can (and of course, you rarely can) be 100% certain of the potential conditions.

It was redlined because the entries through the reef were not marked.


It was and is red lined for a long list of reason starting with getting in, then weather and sea state changes during both the day and night, overcrowded intoxicated operation, and then the same danger for many trying to leave in any condition.
