This dive site, Willy’s Hole, is situated in Turtle Harbor, just beyond an area known as 'the maze.' It's primarily recognized for its distinctive cavern/cave formation found at approximately 24 meters depth. While not considered a difficult dive, the site offers opportunities for deeper exploration. No specific history or story is provided, but its location within a 'maze' suggests interesting underwater topography for navigation.
The top of the reef at Willy's Hole is teeming with a variety of reef fish. Divers can commonly spot several lionfish within the hole itself. The presence of 'reef fish' indicates a healthy coral reef ecosystem, likely supporting a diverse range of smaller marine life and associated invertebrates, though specific coral types are not detailed.
The site is generally accessible and can be enjoyed by divers of varying experience levels, with the caveat to respect training limits, especially when exploring the deeper cavern. It is suitable for both scuba diving and freediving due to its varied depths. As with most Caribbean destinations, the best time to visit is typically outside of hurricane season, generally from December to May, offering calm conditions and good visibility for exploring the reef and its unique cavern.
