Snake Bay

Snake Bay is a solid choice when the wind is up and other sites are getting blown out. We often head here when we want an easy entry and a reliable dive. You’ll find a sandy bottom sloping gently down to a healthy reef, starting around 10 meters. It’s a great spot for newer divers, with calm conditions and plenty to look at without getting overwhelmed. What we love about Snake Bay is its consistent macro life. Keep an eye out for Mottled Flounder flattened against the sand, almost invisible until they dart away. We’ve had great luck finding Caribbean velvet shrimp tucked into crevices and often spot Banded Cleaner Shrimp waving their antennae from anemones. The reef itself has some decent Boulder Brain Coral formations, providing habitat for a good mix of smaller reef fish like Bicolor Basslets and Hourglass Basslets. Dive it slow, especially in the shallows; that’s where you’ll spot the Porcupines and Spotted Trunkfish picking their way through the coral.
