NO.1 & NO.12

Forget deep dives and big pelagics here. No.1 and No.12, affectionately known as "The Barges," are exactly what they sound like: two old barges that grounded in 1976. They sit in barely a meter of water, right off Rocky Point. We’re talking snorkel depth, really, but they’re incredibly fun for a casual splash around. Visibility here is usually excellent, and sunlight just floods the whole scene. You can spend an easy hour finning over the rusty metal, tracing the outlines of what were once working vessels. There are often schools of snapper darting in and out of the shadows, and we’ve seen plenty of juvenile barracuda lurking. Keep an eye out for small crabs scuttling across the seabed and anemones tucked into crevices. It’s a great spot for underwater photography, especially on a sunny day when the light catches the rust and the fish. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon when you want to see some history without lugging all your gear.
