Operator guide with Ray Point / Chiquita Reef depth and ray-spotting notes
Ray Point is an advanced Sosua wall dive with black corals and rays.
Ray Point is an advanced Sosua wall dive with black corals and rays.
Use a local boat operator because the site is a drift wall reached from Sosua.
Ray Point is a deep Sosua wall dive with a strong drift profile, black corals, huge ledges, and a fast drop from the top of the reef. It is an advanced boat site that rewards good buoyancy and situational awareness, with clear water, rays in the blue, and plenty of open water once you step off the shelf. Expect a short boat run from the north coast, a clean drift line, and a profile where staying off the wall matters as much as the depth.
