StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

South Rock offers a relaxed dive, usually with mild current. We’ve often seen impressive schools of fusiliers here, along with the occasional leopard shark resting on the sand. It’s a good spot for divers looking for a calm environment and a chance to observe larger pelagics without too much effort. This site works well for those who prefer an easier drift.
