Cane Bay
About Cane Bay
Reached from the north shore road at a beach entry, this site features a short surface swim to a buoy in shallow water, followed by a steep slope that transitions into a dramatic vertical wall. The wall drops into very deep water, making it a striking dive profile. Marine life can include reef sharks near the drop-off. The site is also known for black coral, barrel sponges, and sea fans, with juvenile drumfish seen in the shallows, and a noted feature called the “Carousel Horse.”
