    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Les Moines usually offers a simple, pleasant dive, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. The rock formations here create some interesting swim-throughs and small caves, often sheltering schooling damselfish and occasional moray eels. We’ve found the site pretty sheltered on most days, making for calm conditions. It’s a solid choice for a second dive of the day.
