PROSELYTE REEF
It’s one of the most famous dive sites on the island. This reef has a shape of a tabletop that sits 15 ft/5 m depth. Here in 1801 a British frigate crushed against the reef and sank. It is still possible to see a couple of large anchors, cannons, and other objects on the seafloor.
teigland
This wreck sits at 69 ft / 21 m depth. It was deliberately sunk on Cable Reef in the early 90s. It’s full of marine life, especially colorful fish such as french grunts and groupers. We normally do this site with advanced divers and finish the dive at Proselyte Reef.
Mike’s Maze is a coral labyrinth with some fun swim-throughs. It is one of the prettiest and shallowest sites within the Man of War Shoal National Marine Park. You'll swim along small canyons covered in colorful corals and swarmed in by tropical marine fauna.
FishBowl
This wreck sits right at the edge of the Man of War Shoal Marine Protected Area at 70ft/20m. It’s one of the most popular dive sites because it’s home to a wide variety of species, including jacks, large schools of snapper, turtles, lobster, sharks, and stingrays.
A dive site where no other company dives in. We called it “Fish Fest” due to the abundance of fish schools. You can swim in between large groups of grunts, snappers, parrotfish and also encounter lobsters, stingrays, turtles, and juvenile reef sharks.
Named after the curious circular rock formation, this dive site is often too difficult to dive due to the large Atlantic swells. However, when conditions are right, it is possible to get to this spectacular dive site and encounter healthy corals and schools of tarpons.
This site gets its name from the variety of fish that are found on the reef. Crystal clear water and splashes of color everywhere. The depth ranges from 40 feet to 60 feet. There is a large arch that you can swim through with barracudas and sharks swimming around.
This is a huge barge sunk deliberately as a dive site. The barge turned over as she sank, so lies upside down on the seabed. It is certainly worth looking underneath, as this is where the fish, turtles, and lobsters shelter. It is a popular night dive location.
The Bridge is a site near the Dutch entrance to the Simpson Bay lagoon that hosts several wrecks as well as the remains of an old bridge. The remains of the bridge have been completely taken over by sea life and this is what makes the dive worthwhile!
