Little Sandy Lane.

An extension of Dottins so shares a similar aspect as far as reef and  fish are concerned.

Johnson's.

Another typical west coast reef in all it's glory, although this one has it's busy days and it's quite days as far as fish life is concerned, well worth a dive even if the fish life is not so abundant, as the corals  remain as beautiful as ever harboring all the small reef creatures often  missed when you are concentrating on not missing bigger critters!

Stavronikita

The "Stav" as it is commonly known starts at 20 feet at the  top of the fore mast which itself is covered with different corals and  lots of Sergeant Majors. As you go down the mast you encounter groupers and snappers around the bottom of the mast. The wreck is well intact even though she has been down since 1978. This wreck can be dived in two ways,  from the prop up through the ship with a maximum depth of 130 feet, or  along the deck and though the cabins with a maximum depth of 100 feet. Lots of sponges and black coral have grown on her. By the prop you can find lots of sea whips.

Stav Reef
This reef runs just behind the wreck of the Stav It is home to barracuda,  snapper, cavali, a spotted moray and smaller tropical fish that can be seen darting in and out of holes in the reef.
Very nice corals and sponges.


Fishermans

This reef is home to many tropical fish and covered with different coral,  sponges and plants. There are usually large schools of chromis and creole  wrasse converging on the reef. Divers sometimes encounter turtles, barracudas  and all kinds of snappers with the odd mackerel and cavallies.

Sandy Lane

Depth of dive: 90 feet
This reef got its name because of its location, directly off the Sandy Lane hotel. Barracuda and other smaller tropical fish frequent this reef.  Lobsters can also be found on this reef but they are usually hiding in cracks.

Clarke's Reef

This reef is inhabited by many tropical fish including a large number of yellow tail snappers, creole wrasse and parrot fish to name just a few.  This reef is also frequented by the Atlantis submarine which sometimes circles  the divers. The reef also has a large number of hard and soft corals adding to the colour and beauty of the reef.

Silver Bank

This reef is located inside of Clarke's Reef. On this reef divers may encounter  the Atlantis submarine which also visits this site. This reef is also home  to many tropical fish like trigger fish, snappers of all types and small  groupers. Diving on this reef you may also encounter a few mackerel or even the odd barracuda. The reef is full of coral and sponges adding to its beauty.

Village

Some of the largest barrel sponges on the west coast can be found on this  reef. It is home to all kinds of fish and plant life. Lobsters can also  be found on this reef but they are usually hiding in cracks.

Barracuda Junction

From the name one can expect that you will almost always see barracuda,  but there is a lot more to look for. The corals and sponges have a variety  of colours and add a lot of beauty to this reef. It is usually teaming with  fish of all shapes, colours and sizes.

Allans

This reef is home to large schools of barracuda and snappers. It is one  of the few reefs that still has black coral growing on it. While diving  one may also come across lobsters and an occasional green moray.

Tropicana

This mysterious reef is always full of surprises. Divers may see turtles,  black jacks, groupers and even, if you are lucky, a nurse shark. Despite its depth this reef is always colourful and well lit.

Spawny

To the north you will find finger coral mounds, barrel sponges and the reef starts to become scattered, to the south of the reef there are all  kinds of plants and coral. The reef is well known for its turtles, for on almost every dive you can be pretty sure of seeing one. French and  queen angel fish can also be found.

Church Point.

In close proximity to its neighbor Dottins, this reef comes to within  20ft of the surface, which on a bad day can cause problems with surge,  as the west coast is very protected from the weather most of the time,  it does happen. Very typical of a west coast reef.

Dottins.

One of the most popular of the dive sites on the west coast for a number of reasons, the dive site has a lot to offer divers with all levels of  experience as the depth ranges from less than 40ft on top of the reef  to over 100ft on both the inside and outside drop offs. This site is notable  for Turtles, Bar Jacks, Yellowtails, Barracuda to name but a few.
