Diamond Dive Site: calm boat dive for cliff-and-tree exploration
Diamond Dive Site sits at the opening of Steamboat Cove and is known for shallow underwater cliffs with overhanging features. It is a calm boat-access dive that suits relaxed exploration, with catfish under the cliff line and bass and carp moving around the cove.

Scuba Diving
Shallow scuba around 15-30 ft makes this a relaxed dive around the cliffs, overhangs, and submerged trees.
Freediving
The site is shallow enough that freediving is possible for experienced people, but scuba is the better fit for the cliffs and overhangs.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is limited to the surface layer; the overhangs and submerged trees are more rewarding underwater.
