Dive The Berry Islands

The Berry Islands offer spectacular cavern, reef, wall and wreck diving with several "must-see" sites. At Great Stirrup Cay, the wreck of an unidentified ship lies just offshore. Hoffman Cay is famous for a 600-foot-wide blue hole in the middle of the ground, worth the 20-foot plunge off a cliff to see the oysters living in it. Crawfish and moray eels share living space in the spiky, 16-foot-high Mama Rhoda Reef at Chub Cay. Nearby is the "eel garden," with stingrays and parrot fish on the white-sand ocean floor. West of Little Stirrup Cay and East of Great Harbour are the most popular reefs in The Northern Berry Islands; other interesting reefs lie off the southern shores of Frazer’s Hog Cay.

Island Things To Do

Wreck Diving

Off the coasts of Chub Cay and Great Stirrup Cay are several wrecks with abundant marine life, including the steel-hulled Panther Wreck, completely intact in 60 feet of water.

Wall Diving

The barrier reef here, known as the Chub Cay Wall, offers miles of wall diving and is very impressive because of great visibility up to 100 feet and varied marine life.

Reef Diving

West of Chub Cay and near its southern shores are many reefs to be explored; the most famous is Mama Rhoda. Diving can be arranged through the marinas and resorts.

Marine Life

Many marine species thrive in the waters here and some pay an occasional visit: manatees, moray eels, Florida lobster, yellow fin fish, clown fish, oysters, dolphins and whales.

Caves, Caverns & Blue Holes

A spectacular dive is the ocean blue hole on the edge of a shallow bank, just north of Bullock’s Harbour. The late Jacques Cousteau is said to have explored it.
