Trip report describing Million Dollar Point as an easy shore dive with lots of fish and a short shore approach.
Million Dollar Point
WWII dump site turned artificial reef
About Million Dollar Point
Million Dollar Point is a shore dive in front of Million Dollar Beach where WWII equipment was dumped and has since become an artificial reef. The site is more about drifting past bulldozers, trucks, and other hardware than chasing a natural coral garden, but the wreckage now holds fish and coral. It is a relaxed history dive with a broad field of old metal and a real choice between shallow sightseeing and deeper inspection.
