Pointe Barracuda

Pointe Barracuda, for us, is all about the feel of the current. It’s not always a screamer, but it’s often enough to make you feel alive, particularly along the wall that drops into the blue. We love drifting here, letting the water do the work, eyes peeled for what emerges from the gloom. You’re not here for static coral gardens, though there are plenty of healthy patches. This spot shines when the pelagics decide to show up. We’ve had a few incredible encounters with barracuda – proper big ones, not the shy juveniles – hanging motionless in the flow, just watching us. Spot snapper school here consistently, a shimmering wall of silver that parts as you approach. Keep an eye out into the deeper blue, too. We’ve been lucky enough to see a few bridled dolphins pass through on occasion, a truly magical sight. The site is best for intermediate divers comfortable with a bit of drift and who appreciate the thrill of the open water. Go on a rising tide if you can, the visibility often sharpens up nicely then.
