Scotts Head Drop Off

Scotts Head Drop Off is the closest dive site to the Atlantic. This means that there may be strong currents, but there is also a greater chance of pelagic - the larger animals in the sea. This wall drops to 30 meters / 100 feet, which is deeper than is typical in the Caribbean.

This dive features pink and azure vase sponges, orange icing sponges, yellow tube sponges, and green rope sponges. Sponges covered the wall and pinnacles, and numerous hard coral builders softened the edges. There are reef creatures everywhere, and there is plenty of time to go 'treasure hunting.' There are also a lot of Spaghetti worms, Christmas tree worms, and Star horseshoe worms, as well as some long Bearded fireworms.

Lobsters, Muray eels, and Scorpion fish were hiding, while schools of Smallmounth grunts were swimming around. At Scotts Head Drop Off, a lovely Lettuce sea slug was discovered. This dive concludes with a 50-foot safety stop that is worth the trip in and of itself.
