About this dive site

This dive site, named after Roger who wrecked his boat onshore, offers a unique and occasionally challenging experience. Located where the northern coastline curves south, it sits in a dynamic area—conditions can change rapidly. The site centers around a miniwall reef, presenting a visually stunning spectacle of marine life resembling a vibrant underwater circus. Divers can explore the coral-covered slope leading to a flat ledge above, which is home to Sailfin Blennies; males often engage in their distinctive courtship dances. Deeper explorations reveal spur and groove channels, providing opportunities to encounter turtles, rays, sharks, and other larger fish species. For those observant enough, an old conch shell may harbor a Corkscrew Anemone, frequently accompanied by Pederson Cleaner Shrimp. These shrimp are known to offer their services, waving their purple and white antennae in invitation – perhaps a chance for an underwater manicure. Visibility can vary due to the site's dynamic nature. The maximum depth is approximately 27.4 meters. While generally considered intermediate, currents may occasionally require careful navigation.
