Dive Sites:
33- Town Pier
One of the world's most photographed dive sites! Dvers need permission
from the Harbourmaster and must be accompanied by a local dive guide.
Boat diving is almost always done at night with one of the island's dive
operators. This is a photographer's dream, with hundreds of macro photo
opportunities. Years of growth and the greatest variety in size and shape
of sponges anywhere are found on the steel pilings. Many species can be
found here that are seldom seen elsewhere. Depth 9-30 feet (3-10 meters).
34- Calabas Reef
Divi Flamingo's house reef, a great place to do your check out as
well as your first night dive. Lots of fish looking for a handout and
an occasional turtle or ray. Depthg 20-100 feet (6-30 meters).
35- 18th Palm
This site lies directly in front of the Lt. Governor's house, which has
at least 18 palms growing in the front yard. Access this site from the
northwest entrance at Plaza Resort. A great place for beginning divers.
Southern stingrays and spotted eagle rays are often seen on the sandy
bottom. This is the first site as you travel south, where the reef separates
into a "double reef", one part running along the bottom at about
90 feet, the other across a sandy channel close to the shore at Plaza
Resort. One of the few sites where tarpon have been seen sleeping during
the day. Depth 29-80 feet (6-25 meters).
36- Windsock
A sandy beach with patches of shade provides a pleasant place to relax
after diving; a favorite spot for picnics. Rays and turtles are often
seen in the sandy shallows. Good for snorkelers and novice divers. Depth
20-80 feet (6-25 meters).
