About this dive site

This dive site, Sprat Hole, is a shallow reef known for its gentle conditions, making it perfect for beginners and non-certified divers. Named after the historic Sprat Hall Plantation overlooking it from the shore, the site features a diverse reef transitioning to a sandy bottom. Divers can explore depths between 8-16 meters, with a gradual decline towards the west leading to deeper areas around 18 meters.

Sprat Hole is teeming with marine life, notably famous for its active cleaning stations where various fish come to be groomed. Southern Stingrays are often found resting camouflaged in the sandy areas. The numerous nooks and crannies within the reef provide shelter for an abundance of juvenile fish, while divers should also keep an eye out for turtles, moray eels, and fascinating jawfish.

This site is suitable for diving year-round, offering consistent appeal for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its shallow nature and rich biodiversity. Its calm environment and accessible depths make it an excellent spot for introducing new divers to the underwater world or for experienced divers seeking macro opportunities and relaxing reef exploration.
