Dive Sites:
57- Atlantis
Turtles and larger species of fish are seen here. Beautiful arrangements
of hard and soft corals on the edge of the reef. Depth 30-100 feet (9-30
meters).
58- Vista Blue
Much like the other dives in this area. Care should be taken as the
currents can change or increase in strength during your dive. Depth 30-100
feet (9-30 meters).
59- Sweet Dreams
There are many species of gorgonians in the shallows here. In deeper water,
large sponges and coral heads contrast dramatically with the "sugar
sand" bottom. Care should be taken here, as the sites in this area
can be a challenge to even the strongest swimmers. Depth 30-100 feet (9-30
meters).
60- Red Slave
Located adjacent to the second set of slave huts, this site is definitely
recommended for experienced divers only. Horse-eye jacks and turtles are
seen here, also off shore schools of baitfish. Big-eye scad (mas bangos
in Papiamentu) being pursued by the larger predatory fish. Detph 20-80
feet (6-25 meters).
61-
Willemstoren Lighthouse
Located at the southern tip of the island; the strong currents here can
make a rough entry for shore divers. Lots of schooling fish, lobsters
hiding under the corals, and an occasional turtle or tarpon. For advanced
divers only. Depth 20-80 feet (6-25 meters).
