About this dive site
This dive site, Minerva Ledge, offers a unique experience due to its considerable size. To fully explore it, divers typically visit three distinct locations along the ledge. The area features extensive flat coral gardens teeming with life, including large schools of fusilier fish, surgeonfish, and snappers. Rocky outcrops provide shelter for occasional turtles, moray eels, and giant groupers. As the ledge descends towards the east, it transitions to deeper waters inhabited by pelagic species such as tunas, barracudas, and marbled stingrays. The strong currents present at Minerva Ledge make it an ideal location for drift diving.
