Dive-site story
Directly off the pier and rocky shoreline at Boca St. Michiel, Sun Reef drops from a sandy plateau into a reef slope thick with barrel sponges, yellow pencil corals, and gorgonian fans. Navigation follows the depth contour cleanly, suiting independent buddy pairs and night descents.
Direct shore entry with a short swim across the plateau
Camouflaged frogfish and seahorses resting along the slope
Soft coral coverage mixed with tube and barrel sponges
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Conditions hold year-round; the calmest seas and warmest water arrive in late summer and autumn.
