Sandy Island
Why dive here
With 288+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Coralita offers some of Sandy Island's richest reef diving.
Coralita, off Sandy Island, sits at a gentle 17m, making it ideal for new divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The reef structure here is fairly consistent, with scattered coral heads attracting schools of small reef fish. We often spot snapper and grunt hugging the bottom. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, offering a good introduction to Anguilla’s quieter sites.
