    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Off Cape Eleuthera offers a look at some of the deeper reef systems along Eleuthera's southern edge. We've often found healthy barrel sponges and good schools of jacks patrolling the drop-off here. It's a reliable spot for getting away from the busier areas, suiting divers who appreciate a quieter exploration. Expect a decent current on some days, making it better for those comfortable with drift diving.
