Dive-site story
Located along the southern coastline east of Spanish Water, Turtle Rock features a gently sloping fringing reef marked by prominent coral heads and massive brain coral formations. Divers typically drift along the drop-off where sea turtles feed among soft gorgonians and sponges. The upper terrace provides calm water and ample natural light, making it suitable for unhurried navigation before dropping over the reef crest.
Frequent encounters with hawksbill and green sea turtles feeding on the reef slope
Large brain and star coral heads anchoring schools of juvenile reef fish
Gentle reef slope ideal for multilevel drift diving
