Destaques
Hercule’s Pillars – A dive site named for the interesting rock formations above the water. Underwater, divers will find a large plateau of coral with a large diversity of species of reef fish.
Red Rocks – This spot is very rich in coral growth, whips, and sponges. The visibility is always very good and there’s hardly any current. Marine life includes everything from small reef fish to lobsters, stingrays, and nurse sharks.
Sunken Rock – A great dive site for advanced divers. It features huge boulders that drop to over 30 meters (100 feet), which have created several valleys. Beautiful gorgonian sea fans, red soft coral, black coral, and barrel sponges to be seen here.
Jettias Wreck – This shipwreck is extremely old, having sunk in 1817. The old French steam-powered freighter now lies in water 25 meters (82 feet) deep. Lots of coral growth on the broken parts of the ship and many small fish to be seen around the remains.
Montserrat Wreck – An intact wreck that sits upright on the seabed. Penetration is possible for experienced divers. Because of the depth, it is only suitable for advanced divers or those undergoing deep diving training.
Rendezvous Bay – Huge barrel sponges and healthy corals, and lots of holes and ledges to explore. It also offers the advantage of being less visited than other spots. Stingrays, lobsters, and octopus are regularly seen here.
