About Rock Side

Rock Side is a shallow St. Vincent reef with an easy shore entry and a boat option nearby. The site is built around a shallow reef section with elkhorn coral, gorgonians, and brown chromis, so it works well for divers and snorkelers when the leeward water is calm. It is a simple, low-friction reef day rather than a site that needs heavy logistics, which makes it a practical choice for a relaxed dive or an easy snorkel plan.
