Why dive here
With 367+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Manjack Cay Patch offers some of Abaco's richest reef diving. Water ranges 24-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Manjack Cay Patch offers a relaxed drift over a sandy bottom, dotted with small coral heads. We often spot nurse sharks napping under ledges and plenty of southern stingrays gliding past. It's a gentle dive, good for newer divers or those looking for a laid-back afternoon with a chance for some interesting encounters. Best when the currents are mild for an easy drift.
