About This Dive Spot

Flagstaff offers two entry points: one through the bay and another over rocks, with the latter being more accessible during high tide. The dive site features a sandy bottom and is generally shallow. Divers can explore rocky structures at the bay entrance or venture outside the bay for additional rocky formations. Throughout the year, divers may encounter various marine life, including nudibranchs, rays, and schools of fish. Notably, grey nurse sharks can be observed during the winter months.
