Boat-access wall dive off Jan Thiel with coral and drift
Boat-access wall dive off Jan Thiel with coral and drift
Divers Leap is a steep wall dive off Jan Thiel Bay with a shallow plateau, rich coral coverage, and a healthy drift potential when the water is moving. The site is now boat access only, so the practical dive is a relaxed boat run followed by a wall drop that rewards tidy buoyancy and a calm pace. Expect clear Caribbean water, abundant reef life, and a profile that is more interesting underwater than it looks from the surface.

Boat dive for divers who want a wall, coral terraces, and the option of a short drift.
