Playpen

Playpen is one of our favourites on the Caribbean side, especially if you’re into the smaller stuff. It’s got these cool rock formations that create plenty of nooks and crannies, perfect for spotting all sorts of creatures. We love drifting through the shallower sections, maybe 5-8 metres, where the schools of fusiliers are so thick they practically block out the sun. Keep an eye out for the Lumpy Claw Crabs tucked into crevices, and we’ve often found octopus hiding in plain sight. For those who enjoy a slower pace, this site is brilliant for macro photography. We've had fantastic luck finding Phallic Blennies poking their heads out, and the Delicate Triplefins are always a treat. Deeper down, around 12-15 metres, the reef structure shifts a bit, and that's where we've seen Longtail Stingrays gliding over the sand patches. Visibility averages around 12 metres, which is decent for the area, but if you hit it right after a calm spell, it can push closer to 15. The gentle currents here make it a relaxing dive, suitable for newer divers looking to build confidence or experienced eyes hunting for the unique.
