DIVE SITES

Below directs your attention to some of the more outstanding, well known dive sites and some of my personal favorites. Beyond this, realize that there is good diving all along the outer reef, and where there is an inner reef that’s good too and generally somewhat protected. As with all aspects of this guide, if you find areas which I’ve overlooked, which you think other readers would enjoy, mark up a copy of your chart and write to me about your discovery.
