Official Bequia dive context and current-sensitive wall diving.
New Moon
New Moon is a Bequia wall dive for intermediate divers.
About New Moon
New Moon is a boat-access Bequia wall dive where a shallow sloping reef gives way to a steep drop and the route can be run in either direction when the current is moving. It suits intermediate divers who like a current-sensitive profile, lots of triggerfish and barracuda, and the occasional stingray on the sand. The site rewards a measured pace rather than a rushed one, with the wall and reef structure doing most of the work.
