About this dive site

This dive site offers a truly remarkable experience, revealing one of the Caribbean's most stunning underwater gardens. The area features an undulating patch reef, characterized by alternating stretches of soft alabaster sand and vibrant thickets of hard and soft coral. You’ll discover a diverse array of corals including delicate lacy purple fans, a kaleidoscope of sponges in various colors, impressive brain corals, and long orange sea whips, some reaching up to eight feet in length. The reef is home to an abundance of marine life, with sightings often including lobsters, spotted morays, and occasionally sleeping nurse sharks. It’s like exploring a beautiful underwater Garden of Eden.
