Cistern Point es un sitio de arrecife y punta rocosa frente a Cooper Island, conocido por depresiones tipo cráter y formaciones más grandes similares a huecos que le dan nombre a la inmersión. El relieve combina salientes, formaciones rocosas y una cresta que puede albergar vida activa de arrecife y comportamiento de estación de limpieza. Un plan típico es hacer un circuito tranquilo alrededor de la punta para visitar los cráteres del lado opuesto y luego regresar siguiendo la cresta. A menudo se considera una inmersión de continuación más sencilla y también es un sitio conocido para practicar snorkel. Las condiciones suelen describirse como tranquilas y con buena visibilidad, pero pueden cambiar según el clima y el estado del mar del día, así que coordina las entradas y salidas con la embarcación y mantente atento al tráfico en superficie.
