DIVE SITES
In Sosua Bay, we are blessed with an abundance of great diving locations. We feature beautiful reef dives, deep walls, ship wrecks, underwater caverns and more! There is something special here for everyone at any level of experience.
Canyon:
Experience level: Beginner
Max Depth: 18m
Sample of Flora and Fauna: Butterfly fish, angel fish, various smaller groupers, snappers, anemones, cleaner shrimp, many species of crabs, fan corals, various other soft and hard corals and much more!
Canyon is a great dive site everyone can enjoy. Once down off the mooring line, there is a wonderful swim through which has earned this dive site its respective name. Swimming through, you will be surrounded by coral and fish alike. Beyond the canyon lie artificial reef balls housing some great marine life and a great reef wall to dive along.
West Wall:
Experience level: Beginner to Deep Spec. certified. Technical diving is possible.
Max Depth: 50m+
Sample of Flora and Fauna: Butterfly fish, angel fish, groupers, parrot fish, snappers, morays, soldier fish, squirrel fish, lion fish, scorpion fish, crabs, reef lobsters, rays, octopi, squid and a lot of coral.
West Wall is another great site which features something for all divers. Diving both sides of the wall present you with amazing coral back grounds while the plentiful marine life goes about its daily business, you as its witness. One side of this reef features sandy shallows, the other a steep seemingly bottomless decent into the reefs lower and still beautiful sections.
Three Rocks:
Experience level: Beginner to Advanced.
Max Depth: 20m
Sample of Flora and Fauna: RAYS! Butterfly fish, angel fish, groupers, parrot fish, morays, snappers, lion fish, scorpion fish, crabs, reef lobsters, all kinds of coral, octopi, squid and more!
Three rocks, as the name implies, is composed mainly of three large sections of reef which leads down towards deeper reef balls and then more reef. Lots of sting rays here and a lot of fish. This is not only an amazing dive site, but one of our premier snorkelling sites as well due to its beauty at multiple levels.
The Zingara:
Experience level: Advanced (Wreck Spec required for penetration dives).
Max Depth: 36m
Sample of Flora and Fauna: Large groupers, barracuda, jacks, snappers, soldier fish, squirrel fish, scorpion fish etc.
The Zingara was a cargo ship that was sunk intentionally as an artificial reef. It’s depth makes it off limits to some divers, but it is a great dive site to train on and many Open Water Divers prefer to do the dive as an Adventure dive so it counts towards their Advanced certification. The wreck itself is a beautiful back drop to many species of fish including some pelagics that swim in from time to time. Penetration is possible in some areas of the wreck but proper training is required.
*please note the distance to the wreck is greater than the other Bay sites and requires an additional $8.00 US fuel surcharge per person*
Larimar 1:
Experience level: Beginner to Advanced
Max Depth: 20m
Sample of Flora and Fauna: Octopi, jacks, damsels, eels, snappers, crabs, lobsters, stone fish etc.
Larimar 1 is one of our favourite sites for good reason. It’s moderate depth allows lots of sun light to shine on the reef’s wall revealing all the colors of the coral and creatures that inhabit this ecosystem. In short, it’s a great shallow wall which is easy to navigate with lots of busy animals going about their daily routine.
Larimar 2:
Experience Level: Advanced
Max Depth: 40m+
Sample of Flora and Fauna: Everything you’d see at Larimar 1 with the possibility to see the occasional nurse shark.
Like its shallower brother, Larimar 2 is a beautiful wall. The difference being that this site is very deep. Lots of wall to explore here and a great multilevel dive site. There is even a mysterious toilet occupying the depths, that no one can explain! |
