Why dive here
With 288+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Molly Beday offers some of Sandy Island's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Molly Beday sits off Sandy Island, a straightforward sandy patch that gets down to 19 metres. It's an easy dive, good for beginners looking to get comfortable in the water and practice buoyancy. You’ll spend your time here exploring the sand, spotting the usual suspects like garden eels, stingrays, and various small reef fish darting in and out of the sparse coral heads. We find it’s best as a relaxed second dive or a checkout for those new to the Caribbean.
