BLUE CORNER
Dive Site:
• Four vertical shafts that open on top of the reef into a large cavern with an exit on the outer reef wall.
• It is common on an outgoing tide to dive through the Blue Holes and continue on to Blue Corner
• The cavern and holes were formed by fresh water erosion millions of years ago, when water levels were much lower then they are today.
Marine Life:
• Tubastrea, Wire & Black coral adorn the Hole walls.
• White Tip Reef sharks and Leopard sharks can be seen sleeping on the sandy bottom of the cave, or just outside the exit.
• Special critters inside are the Flaming Scallop, Leafy Scorpion fish, Dart fish, Nudibranchs & Cleaner shrimp.
• Wahoos, Barracudas, Dog-tooth Tuna, White tips and Grey Reef sharks patrol the exit.
Important Tips:
• Watch your depth and bottom time inside the cavern.
• Currents at Blue Corner and Blue Holes are strongest and hardest to predict during the half- moon.
• May have to swim against the current for about 150 feet. When you pass the second buoy, the current will reverse and carry you to the corner. |
