About This Dive Spot
Spanish Eyes is situated at the southern tip and eastern side of Home Island. Access is primarily during the summer months or when winter trade winds are below 10 knots. The site is named after a yacht that was wrecked on the beach due to a navigation error while attempting to enter the Cocos Islands lagoon. The dive site features a relatively shallow reef top with a mix of hard and soft corals. Divers can expect to see grey reef sharks and barracuda off the wall. This location is also suitable for more experienced divers looking for a deep bounce dive.
