Eddys Park - Bali
Jax Dax, for us, is one of Grand Cayman’s standout shallow dives. It’s got this incredible spur-and-groove formation, really defined, and then this monster finger coral that acts like a bridge, stretching from the shallows right out to the deeper drop-off. We love swimming along that finger, feeling the slight pull of the surge, with schools of Creole Wrasse flickering around us. Visibility here usually sits around 20-25 metres, and because it’s so shallow, the light really penetrates, making the corals glow. Keep your eyes peeled for the smaller stuff – we've spotted everything from little Arrow Blennies peeking out of holes to the more elusive Saddle Stargazers buried in the sand. It’s a site that rewards slow, meticulous diving, perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to really soak in the reef’s intricate details. Look close in the crevices of the coral for the Mottled Conger Moray, they’re often tucked away there. Dive this one when the sun is high for the best light show.
