Caves 1 & 2

Thick spur and groove coral formations teem with life. Expect to see groupers, jacks, remoras and sharks from neighboring Shark Alley.

Pretender's Wreck

Caribbean reef sharks and stingrays circle the hull of this upside down tugboat on the western side of Shark Alley, along with groupers, jacks, and spadefish.

Plate Reef

Mahogany and yellowtail snappers, goatfish, and French grunts are usually seen among the many varieties of hard coral that have formed here.

Papa Doc Wreck

The ammunition clips of mercenaries en route to Haiti to overthrow Duvalier can occasionally be found amid the coral heads and engine blocks of this 1968 wreck.
