Dive briefing

AI-generated

Conditions are marginal today. The rating reflects 0.6m effective waves made worse by short-period chop—raw swell is forecast at 0.4–0.9m with periods of 3.8–4.8 seconds. You'll feel the choppiness underwater, but the reef runs 8–25 metres and suits intermediate divers. Water temperature is warm at 29.8–30.6°C.

Divers commonly log stoplight parrotfish and schoolmaster snapper here, along with spotted eagle rays and hawksbill sea turtles. Queen angelfish, Atlantic blue tang, and Caribbean bluehead wrasse are often recorded. The exposed north-side setting means conditions can be demanding; brief-check your weighting and buoyancy before descent.
