Critters Alley
Shore macro dive with tiny critter hunting.
Easy shore-access macro site with a shallow drop-off, soft coral, and patient search patterns.
About Critters Alley
Critters Alley is a shore-access macro site on a shallow sandy edge where weed patches, small bommies, soft coral, and an abandoned pipe concentrate tiny life. It is a slow, detail-rich dive that rewards patience, a careful search pattern, and low-tide timing more than big scenery. The best dives are relaxed loops along the edge, scanning every patch of rubble and weed for rare subjects.

Scuba Diving
Sandy-bottom muck-style scuba dive focused on super-macro subjects around weed patches, bommies, and an abandoned pipe.

Possible for very comfortable freedivers, but the site is better treated as a slow macro scuba dive.
