As its name implies, this site lies in the central part of the bay between Far Garden and Near Garden, more or less on a line with the impressive Hyatt Regency complex. Totally sheltered from wind, waves and currents, Middle Garden has a fixed mooring point just opposite the central section of the hotel. Dives are made onto a vast sandy plateau that is from 6 to 10 meters deep; from here you can go northeast, keeping the reef to your left and then descending to a maximum depth of 14 meters, where you will see the drop-off. After having gone a few dozen meters, the plateau narrows, giving rise to a beautiful avenue of white sand bordered by madrepores. Experienced divers who have a good reserve of air can go as far as a group of three madreporic pinnacles situated at precisely the mid-way point between Middle and Far Garden: because of its fixed mooring this site is used as a diving point itself that many instructors call Middle-Far Garden. An alternative is a drift dive heading southwest towards Near Garden; naturally, this can be done when the tide is ebbing and the current is favourable.
