About Beacon Point
Beacon Point is an advanced wall-and-drift dive at the outer edge of Caracas Bay, where a shallow coral plateau drops into deeper blue water and current often shapes the route. Divers visit for the combination of pillar coral on top, a clean wall profile, and the chance of seeing jacks, barracuda, turtles, and morays where the bay mouth opens toward more exposed water.

Scuba Diving
A wall drift dive where currents can be a defining feature of the dive.
Freediving
