Rendezvous diving - enjoy distinctive feeling
Virgins Point is a sheltered lagoon, which offers a fantastic coral garden with a resident 4-foot Barracuda. The dive site starts with a plateau around 40 ft/ 12 m but it slopes down to 100 ft/30 m. Here we will see big Yellow Tail Snappers and fabulous coral formations. Petit Trou (the small hole) is one of the dive sites that offers most fish, from the small Damselfish to the Southern Sting Ray. There are a lot of Moray Eels and Scorpion Fish around; there are also a lot of different Snappers here. If you are lucky you can also see a Frogfish. The dive sites ranges from around 15 ft/ 5 m to around 40 ft/ 12 m. Anse La Raye: This is a wall dive south of Anse La Raye, a small fishing village. The final leg of this dive features a slope covered in huge boulders, making way for an interesting terrain. The shallow areas have lots of brightly coloured fire coral, while deeper, there are iridescent purple vase sponges, barrel sponges, and soft coral. There is a lot of fish life on this dive- look out particularly for Jacks, Bermuda Chub and Spotted Drums. This is probably the best place for spotting turtles. Lesleen M: Located at Anse La Cochon, the 165 ft/ 50 m freighter was sunk in October 1986, as part of a project by the Department of Fisheries to provide artificial reefs. Already it is covered with soft corals, sponges and hydroids, and provides an ideal habitat for many juvenile fishes such as Nassau Grouper, Queen and French Angel fishes. The wreck sits on an even keel on the sand. It is 40 ft/ 12 m to the top of the wreck and 65 ft/ 20 m at the deepest point. La Roche (Barrel 'O' Beef) is a small island a quarter mile off Pigeon Island and ten minutes from the resort. Here we usually see enormous lobsters and big schools of Southern Senets, which are the same family as the Barracuda. The maximum depth here is 50 ft/ 15 m and the landscape is like small canyons.Secret Garden is part of an area covered in corals that lies just above Pigeon Island. Five minutes from the resort. Maximum depth is 40 ft /12 m. Here we see hundreds of sea fans and sea plums following the gentle movement of the sea. This "secret" holds many crevices in the rocks for the divers to explore. Amongst the normal encountered species are Lobsters, Octopus, Flamingo Tongue, and the colourful Yellowtail Damsel fish or Disco fish as the locals call them.
