Turtle Crossing Deep

Turtle Crossing Deep is where we send divers who want to play hide-and-seek with green turtles. It’s an advanced dive, for sure, with those coral channels dropping down into deeper water, but the reward is significant. You’ll moor up on a plateau, around 10 meters, then follow the reef down. The maximum depth is 21 meters, which is plenty for soaking in the big barrel sponges and intricate coral structures that cover the wall. What we really love about this site, though, is the sheer number of turtles. We’ve seen upwards of 30 on a single dive, just cruising along, seemingly unbothered by us. It’s not just turtles either; keep an eye out for the smaller stuff like Bicolor Basslets tucked into crevices or a Yellowhead Wrasse darting through the turtlegrass. If you’re comfortable with a bit of depth and appreciate a healthy population of gentle giants, Turtle Crossing Deep is a dive you’ll want to repeat. Our advice? Go in the late morning, the light catches the corals perfectly.
