This dive site, aptly named The Aquarium, is a beautiful stretch of patchy reef renowned for its abundant and diverse Caribbean marine life. Divers can expect an easy navigation facilitated by a mooring line, making it accessible for various skill levels. The site does not have a known significant history or story beyond its vibrant ecosystem.
The Aquarium is home to a spectacular array of marine animals and plants. Divers frequently encounter colorful 'aquarium fish' of all kinds, including many juveniles, stingrays, graceful garden eels, and various sea turtles. Snappers and yellowhead jawfish are common, complemented by a vibrant display of colorful sponges and coral formations.
While specific best times to visit are not detailed, the Caribbean generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, with calmer seas typically outside hurricane season (June-November). This site is ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its shallow to moderate depths and rich marine life near the surface. It's a perfect spot for underwater photography, especially macro, given the juveniles and jawfish.
