    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Fish Bowl is a straightforward dive off Sandy Island, good for newer divers. The maximum depth is 19m, mostly sand with some scattered coral heads. Expect to spot common Caribbean reef fish like snapper and wrasse darting between the formations. It’s a relaxed drift, often with very little current, making it a comfortable introduction to Anguilla's diving.
