Cape Eleuthera
Why dive here
With 271+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and seahorses - Cape Eleuthera offers some of Eleuthera & Harbour Island's richest diving. Water ranges 24-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cape Eleuthera offers a good taste of the wall diving this part of the Bahamas is known for. We're talking deep drifts here, with the reef dropping off to a serious 600 meters, so you'll want to be comfortable with exposure. Cave Rock, our pick in the area, has some accessible caves around 15 meters. You can swim right in; we've seen them packed with silversides, which usually brings in the jacks for a feed. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy a bit of current and dramatic topography.
