Stewpot on Long Island is a solid choice for a relaxing Caribbean dive. We’ve found it’s a good spot for spotting the usual suspects: snapper, grunt, and parrotfish flitting around the coral patches. It’s pretty laid-back, so if you’re after an easy dive without strong currents, this fits the bill. A good option for a second dive of the day.
