StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Turtle Ledge, as the name suggests, often has green sea turtles resting on its sandy bottom. It's a shallow, easy dive, perfect for beginners or a relaxed second dive of the day. We've seen a good number of reef fish here too, including schooling fusiliers and the occasional cuttlefish. There’s not much current, making it a comfortable spot for longer bottom times.
