This dive site, King's Corner, is a highly regarded reef known for its vibrant marine ecosystem. The dive topography features a top reef line that begins at approximately 17 meters (55 feet), with its most active and visually rewarding areas, often referred to as its 'sweet spot,' located between 18 to 28 meters (60-90 feet). Divers can also explore a deeper sand line found at about 30 meters (100 feet). While no specific history or detailed navigation structure is provided, it is celebrated as a favorite for its dynamic reef structure.
King's Corner is home to a diverse array of marine animals and plants, including healthy coral formations and a variety of sponges. The site is particularly well-known for its abundant sea life, with excellent opportunities to spot turtles, largely due to its close proximity to the Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge. Other common reef fish species and invertebrates typical of Caribbean waters are also expected to be present, contributing to a rich biodiversity.
To experience King's Corner at its best, it is recommended to visit during calm weather conditions, as strong currents are common and visibility can drop below 11 meters (40 feet) otherwise. The optimal depth range for observing the most prolific coral, sponges, and marine activity is between 18 to 28 meters. While the depth makes it unsuitable for casual snorkeling, experienced freedivers may find the deeper reef lines and marine encounters rewarding, provided they are comfortable with potential currents.
