Shark Dive!

Amberjack Reef - A 50' patch reef that is the site of our Exumas shark feeding dive. Normally 10 Caribbean reef sharks and 10-15 large black, yellowmouth and yellowfin grouper show up to feed on the chumsicle. This is an action packed dive! This dive also has many interesting small critters such as pirate blennies and garden eels. Back on the hang bar scuba divers will be surrounded by a school of 100+ horse-eye jack that hang out under one of the Blackbeard's sailboats.

 The Washing Machine

The strong incoming tide of up to 6 mph takes scuba divers thru a narrow cut where water drops off a ledge and then makes a sharp bend to the left. This causes the water to swirl like the water in a washing machine. This swirling water will toss scuba divers head over heels. Scuba divers who wish to avoid being tossed around can stay to the right where you will have a smooth fast trip through the cut. After passing through the cut you will then glide over a large patch reef. Enjoy the ride!
