Three Rocks is a boat-accessed Sosua Bay reef built around three coral-rock pinnacles over sand. It is a friendly beginner site with easy navigation, plenty of fish life, and enough structure for snorkel laps and relaxed photo dives. The reef also gives divers a simple path to follow and a good mix of calm shallow water and small rocky features.
