Boat access and mooring-based site listing.
Advanced North Wall boat dive with a reef-shelf mooring, weak current, and a deep profile that suits experienced divers.
About Eagles Nest
Eagles Nest is a signature North Wall dive off West Bay, with a reef-shelf mooring and a sheer drop that quickly turns into true wall diving. The reef is studded with colorful sponges, staghorn coral, sea fans, and deeper black-coral and barrel-spongelike structure. Expect an advanced boat dive with weak current, dry-season clarity, and regular sightings of turtles, rays, sharks, and reef fish.
