About This Dive Spot

This site lies in the deepwater entry channel into the port and is typically dived outside of cruise ship season. A reef top starts shallow, with coral and sponges, and then transitions into a channel that drops deeper along a wall. Divers can find old anchors along the edge of the drop-off, and there are reports of discarded Bakelite telephones on the reef from past upgrades.
