Grouper Hole, just off Provo, is a solid introductory dive, especially if you're new to the wall. It’s a shallow drop-off, hitting 21 meters, making it easy to manage your buoyancy and bottom time. We often see reef sharks cruising the edge and plenty of Nassau groupers, hence the name, poking out from under ledges. It’s a comfortable dive, good for getting your sea legs or just enjoying a relaxed afternoon exploring the reef top.
