About this dive site

This dive site, North West Point, is renowned for its impressive deep wall featuring a great vertical drop and thriving sponge life. Divers can navigate by exploring the vertical wall, which shares characteristics with other sites in the area, before ascending to a large sand patch on the top reef. This sand patch, adorned with finger corals, stretches towards the shore and is an excellent place to encounter marine life. There is no specific historical information provided for this site.
The marine life here is abundant and varied. Divers can expect to see various forms of lovely sponge life along the wall and vibrant finger corals on the top reef. The site offers a high chance of encountering turtles, particularly hawksbill turtles, often seen foraging in the sand. Keep an eye out for majestic eagle rays cruising in the blue and free-swimming moray eels exploring the wall.
North West Point offers excellent diving opportunities generally. The description suggests morning dives are particularly rewarding for spotting hawksbill turtles eating breakfast in the sand as you make your way back to the boat. Its diverse depths and features make it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with the shallow reef being ideal for snorkelers as well.
