Boat dive over a rocky bar with easy navigation and small-life pockets.
Boat dive over a rocky bar with easy navigation and small-life pockets.
Boat dive across a gently trending rocky bar that is easy to follow once you settle in on the line of the reef. The route works along a NE-SW ridge with holes, crevices, and scattered seagrass patches, so the main plan is a relaxed search pattern rather than a deep profile. A flashlight helps pick out small life in shaded pockets and makes the rocky terrain easier to read.
