THE SISTERS |
THE SISTERS are a line of rocks off Englishman's Bay, at the northwestern end of the island. Surface conditions can occasionally be rough because the site is exposed to the elements but the effect of the wave action usually dissipates just a few meters down. There are two main dive areas here. The east side slopes off into the sand with large boulders dotting the seascape and providing shelter for Lobsters, Turtles and Eels. Because the west side is exposed to the open sea, pelagics are often sighted as divers move along the rock face. During December to March this is the site with the greatest opportunities for encounters with Hammerhead Sharks, who often come and check out the divers before continuing on their way. RUM & COKE and GIN & TONIC are located on either side of Englishman's Bay. One of these sites is usually the second dive of the day due to their proximity to The Sisters. |
