About The Ridge
The Ridge is a boat-dived coral wall site in Nassau, best known for a steep ridge top, sand flats, and coral life along the drop-off. The route is easy to read, but the wall makes depth awareness and buoyancy control more important than on a flat reef. Expect a classic Bahamas profile with garden eels, triggerfish, wrasses, and other reef life around the ridge. It suits divers who want a scenic wall rather than a shore-entry swim.
Safety & Access
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight over the ridge, watch depth as the wall drops, and use deliberate turn points along the coral edge.
