Glovers Reef Dive Sites
This dive was rated by Skin Diver magazine as one of the top ten dive sites in the world! Mooring on a buoy, we descend to a pristine white sand floor. This is our orientation dive for all divers, including first-timers. Passing over colonies of garden eels, we leave the white sands behind to hover over towering coral formations along the edge of the 2600 vertical wall. Schools of brilliantly colored fish drift amongst the coral formations; we often see batfish and giant lobster on this dive.
Bev’s Garden
This site features Lettuce Leaf and Staghorn corals as far as the eye can see. As we descend past the top of the wall at thirty-five feet, we drift over numerous canyons of coral, which provides hideouts for schoolmaster snappers and hawksbill turtles. It is common to see graceful spotted eagle rays soaring along the gentle currents.
The Crack
One of our more advanced dives, this vertical cave is entered at forty-five feet and exited between seventy and ninety feet. Sea life abounds in this dark crevice. Frequent sightings have been made of loggerhead turtles, bull sharks, and some of the largest Nassau groupers in the atoll. This is the perfect site for underwater photographers.
Middle Caye Wall
A ten-minute boat ride takes us to the shadow of neighboring Middle Caye. We descend to the top of the wall, drifting through schools of bluehead wrasse and horse-eyed jacks. Before ascending, a visit with Mordecai, a five-foot long green moray eel who shares his home with nurse sharks and loggerhead turtles.
The Abyss
This sheer wall lives up to its name, providing a dramatic backdrop for abundant blacktip sharks. White sands camouflage southern stingrays and over-hanging coral ledges are home to spiney lobsters. Nearby, juvenile spotted drums flutter beneath a coral head. This is one of our favorite dive sites and not one to miss!
