Dolphins Den

Dolphins Den isn't a deep dive, peaking at 14m, but it’s a site we always make time for. It’s all about the cavern experience here, a genuinely comfortable one, even if you're not usually a fan of overhead environments. You can slip into the main chamber from the reef side, or through one of the larger openings closer to the shore. Natural light spills in from multiple angles, painting the interior in shifting blues and greens. We often find ourselves just floating, watching the light play over the walls. Inside, keep an eye out for Glassy Sweepers and Silversides shimmering in the deeper pockets. They school so tightly sometimes it feels like they’re a single, moving organism. On the inner reef leading into the Den, we’ve spotted some truly massive Giant Anemones, often hosting resident invertebrates. The real beauty, though, is the healthy reef on the outside, a vibrant contrast with plenty of Staghorn and Maze Coral. Horse-eye Jacks often cruise by, and we’ve seen Nassau Groupers lurking. Our pick? Go when the sun is high for the best light show in the cavern. It’s a gentle dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who appreciates a bit of natural architecture.
