    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    We’ve always found this stretch between Salt and Cooper Islands to be a reliable spot for a good mix of Caribbean reef life. Expect to find plenty of snapper and grunt schools hanging around the coral heads. It’s a comfortable dive, usually calm, making it a solid choice for shaking off the rust or an easy afternoon cruise.
