About Shark Hole

Shark Hole sits east of Little Corn Island and is known for a shallow reef cut with a maze of tunnels, holes, and swim-throughs. The route stays slow and scenic, moving between sand pockets and reef edges rather than following a deep profile. Reef fish are common, and sharks are part of the site's appeal on settled days. It works best as a relaxed boat dive with good buoyancy control.
