Second best reef on the island. A little south of the entry dock is a small boat in about 40 ft of water. A must to explore.

Pretty cool site to dive, we used it as our second dive. Just watch for Don's boat dives coming/going. Saw lots of schools, just cool. Worth a visit.

We stayed very close to Captain Don's, so naturally it is very easy to do this dive. In the week we were here, we dove this reef about 6 times....saw something different every time. We saw several eel, cleaning stations and grouper. Large tarpon will hang out with you while you dive! Also a good place to do a night... More

Just off the back of Divi Divi resort with free access. Swim all around the small dock and see cudas and many varieties of reef fish
