This dive site, Triton's Anchor, features a historical anchor resting loose on the seafloor at approximately 7 meters depth, reaching a maximum of 15 meters. Believed to be a small ship’s boat anchor or bower anchor dating from the 17th to 19th century, it is thought to have been uncovered from the adjacent reef during Hurricane Maria.
The anchor serves as an artificial reef, attracting a variety of common Caribbean reef fish, juvenile marine life, and invertebrates. Divers can observe various species of hard and soft corals establishing themselves on and around the anchor, providing a vibrant microcosm of the local ecosystem.
The best time to visit is generally year-round, with calm conditions enhancing the experience. This shallow and easy dive is ideal for beginner divers, photography enthusiasts focusing on macro subjects, and history buffs. It's also perfectly suitable for snorkelers and freedivers due to its accessible depth.
