About this dive site

This dive site, State Harbor, is characterized by a stone wall with a steep drop-off within a protected harbor environment. While not historically significant, it serves as a local favorite for lobstering, offering a straightforward wall dive experience accessible directly from shore. Underwater navigation typically involves following the natural wall.

The main attraction here is the abundance of Caribbean spiny lobsters, making it a prime spot for local lobstering activities. Other typical harbor fish species may be present, though no specific coral or fish types are mentioned beyond the lobsters.

The site is particularly suitable for night dives, which can enhance the experience of observing nocturnal marine life, especially the lobsters. Despite the potential for oily residue from boats, its protected nature and shallow depths make it suitable for both divers and freedivers seeking a casual exploration or a unique night dive experience. The best time to visit aligns with lobster season for those interested in sustainable collection.
