About this dive site
This dive site, known as Jaws, offers a unique and engaging underwater experience. The name originates from a humorous tale related to the area’s geography. Expect a diverse landscape featuring low-lying reef structures, intriguing rock formations, crevices, and a striking "Cathedral" formation – a natural arch or pinnacle that adds visual interest. It's a fantastic location for observing an abundance of tarpon, silversides, and frequently, nurse sharks. Visibility is excellent, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of this underwater realm.
