SHARKS ALLEY
Depth: 15 m
Level: Suitable For All Levels
CAVES 1 and 2
Depth: 18-24 m
Level: Intermediate
Two very interesting sites, well worth the visit. Site is comprised of thick spur and groove coral formations, teeming with life. So many cracks, nooks, crannies and hiding places for fish that it is almost impossible to see everything! Both Moorings are set along a sloping drop-off. Starting at 60’ sloping to about 80-90’ at the bottom. In the deepest part of this site it is possible to see a sunken
GALE'S GROTTO

Sharks and spotted rays are frequently seen here. There is a coral cavern that passes through the reef for about 100 feet. The cavern is inhabited by soldier and squirrel fish.
ANGELS' CAMP
Depth: 10-14 m
Level: Beginner
At the mooring pin you find sections of coral running from east to west. Running parallel to this is a large sand channel – an extension of shark alley. Queen, Grey and French Angel fish are often encountered in the area. Great place to find lobsters, stingrays, spotted drums and even the odd Gray Caribbean reef shark. A nice relaxing second dive.
SEA STAR WRECK
Depth: 27 m
Level: Advanced
(Formerly Emmanuelle) was sunk in April 2002. The ship is approximately 180 foot long and sits upright, in 2 sections in around 90 feet of water.

The wreck is now home to
PLATE REEF
Depth: 18-24 m
Level: Intermediate
Many varieties of hard coral have formed here. Many plate coral overlap above the surge channels. The blue hole here is quite large and comes right out of the side of a high-profile coral. Mahogany and yellow-tail snappers, goat-fish, and French grunts are usually seen.
Ben's Blue Hole
Depth: 12-15 m
Level: Beginner
This classic site could be considered our ‘house reef’ as its right in front of the resort. Mooring is set at about 40-45ft in a coral head, directly south of the pin you can see a large sunken horseshoe shape in the sand, this is bens blue hole. The Blue hole is a funnel, or channel for fresh water to come out into the sea, the water mixing creates an interesting place for fish to hang out. Often you will
