We have spectacular reef sites that range in depths of 20 feet to 45 feet. Caribbean spiny lobster, nurse sharks and reef squid are some of the species that can be seen when diving our reef sites.
Different sites offer a variety of coral topographies and fish life.

Large schools of French grunts and snapper are seen here, along with porcupine pufferfish, queen angelfish and large grouper. Invertebrates that are seen include the Caribbean spiny lobster, and occasional sea turtles.

A site that is perfect for snorkelers, Elizabeth reef is at its shallowest at 15 feet and reaches a maximum depth of around 30 feet. The topography of the coral at this site makes it a favourite of our guests’.
