SUNDAY SERVICE - At the top of the wall on this site, three sand
chutes extend to the sloping wall. Divers will find lots of schools of
small barracuda, squirrel fish, yellow goat fish and several members of
the hamlet family.
THE ANCHOR/WHITEFACE - Called Whiteface for the white sandy
cliffs along West Caicos. Swim through a gully with a 17th Century
anchor wedged in the north side of the gully. A beautiful, large white
anemone sits at about 95 feet at the base of the gully. Keep an eye out
for the resident reef shark who is not camera shy. Great night dive with
lobsters, octopus and nurse sharks
TONS OF SPONGE - Depth 30-100 feet. Diveable only during an
incoming tide, the topography is mixed with huge sand patches at
the top of the wall, shallow reefs with holes and hiding places for fish.
Great site for watching fish.....schools of Atlantic spadefish, horse-eye
jacks, grunts, angelfish, rock beauties, and chromis. Watch for lobsters,
channel-clinging crabs, eels, and stingrays too.
WEST CAICOS CHANNEL - is the channel that opens up between
the north point of West Caicos to outer West Reef. The tops of the dif-
ferent sites start as low as 28 feet to 30 feet, with some of the most pris-
tine diving available, from vertical drop offs, to sandy bottoms with
giant stingrays. We have many dive sites to choose from. These waters
are especially great for larger pelagic like eagle rays, sharks, and oc-
casionally Manta and Hammer Head. There are also very vibrant reef
lives, and we have sites where we see Octopus during day dives, large
lobster, large Nassau, grouper and Jewfish.
