Tarpon Bridge

Tarpon Bridge is one of those spots that feels like a real treat, only accessible when the sea plays nice. It’s tucked just around from East Point, so boat access is essential, and we only ever go if it’s absolutely flat. Drop in, and you’re aiming for 16 meters to find the opening of a big cavern. We’ve seen nurse sharks napping in there more than once, just chilling on the sandy bottom, which is always a thrill. Push a little deeper to 20 meters, and that’s where the Tarpon Bridge itself appears – a natural arch about 6 meters high. It’s not just the structure that’s impressive, but the life clinging to its underside. Sponges and corals practically drip from the rock, creating a vibrant ceiling. Schools of Spanish grunts and doctorfish often mill about, and true to its name, tarpon frequently cruise around the arch. We’ve had some truly mesmerising encounters here, watching them glide through the dappled light. Visibility averages a solid 24 meters, making for clear views through the archway. It's a dive for those who appreciate unique topography and a bit of a current-dependent adventure.
