Easy shore dive below Playa Fortis cliffs
Easy shore dive below Playa Fortis cliffs
Playa Forti is a shore-access Westpunt dive with a staircase down to the beach and a cliff-top setting that also draws cliff jumpers. The underwater route starts shallow and eases onto a gradual reef slope with coral, rock, and plenty of Caribbean reef life. It is a straightforward beach dive for relaxed profiles, with the rocky edge giving snorkelers and divers the clearest water-column features.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep out of the cliff-jump lane, use an SMB if required, and reassess the entry if the swell makes the return swim awkward.
Access Restrictions
Shore divers should use an SMB because of recreational and commercial boat traffic near the beach.
Legal Notes
Cliff jumping is at your own risk and is posted as such at the restaurant.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Easy shore dive with a short swim to the reef and a gradual drop from the beach.
Snorkeling
Snorkel is best around the rocks and the shallow edge, but boat traffic makes the site better on calm days.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
