Zen Reef is following the shore just a few hundreds meters away from Puri Jati. It is situated on a slope gradually descending to some 18 – 20 meters depth. Still the nicest part of it is at the shallow portion at some 5 – 10 meters. Colors of the corals are outstanding beautifully on a black sand background. There are plenty of table corals with puffer fish hiding beneath them.
