Dive Spot Guide•
Cabrita
Cabrita is a Great Bay fan-coral reef dive.
Boat-access reef in Great Bay with fan corals, a shallow profile, and a current-sensitive crossing portion.
About Cabrita
Cabrita is a boat-access reef in Great Bay where fan corals, colorful scenery, and a relaxed profile make the dive feel easy at first, then more interesting once the route crosses the site. The main planning question is not depth but timing, because currents can show up on the crossing portion and make the reef line feel more committed. Plan it as a calm coral-forward Caribbean dive rather than a drift run, with buoyancy and route control doing most of the work.
