Dive Site

Pillar Coral

A minor misnomer because this site contains very little pillar coral, however coral fans need not be discouraged as there are masses of lettuce leaf, boulder, star, maze and brain corals in the shallows of this location. The mooring rests in about 20 feet of water and leads to the wall on a gradual decline. The wall is nearly vertical at most places and provides housing for eels, clinging crabs, clams and oysters. This is a fantastic site to drift dive, leading to the wreck of the El Aguila. El Aguila

This wreck of a cargo ship was scuttled in 1998 and rests in about 110 feet of water. Be sure to have a look at the fields of garden eels in the sand which surrounds the stern of the wreck. The ship itself is home for several green morays, seen often on the bow of the ship and occasionally free-swimming among divers! The wreck is also surrounded by a reef wall which drops down to 90 feet and rises nearly to the surface, providing additional sights to be seen after the time at depth has been spent.
