Western Dry Rocks
Western Dry Rocks is a wonderful area for novice divers. It’s not within a Sanctuary Preservation Area (SPA), however, and there are often charter fishing boats trolling over the area in the afternoon. There are nice rock alleys with soft corals all over them, which are fun to swim through.
Western Dry rocks is shallow, and therefore more of a snorkeling spot but depths get to almost 35 feet so scuba divers occasionally frequent this site. There are friendly resident barracuda- very large ones, but don’t be afraid. Also frequently seen here are huge Eagle Rays, who swim through the rock alleys and startle divers quite often!
