During you time in Douglas Point you can find more than one dive site. At the southern end is a wonderful canyon and tunnel covered in corals and sponges. The western end goes to 100 and is an area where flamingo tongue snails are bountiful. Douglas Point wall, a third site, drops off to 50 feet then slopes down to 180 feet. One often sees lobster and large reef fish including barracuda and cero mackerel at these sites, impressive and curious fish which will come to within a few feet of you before continuing along the reef or back out to the blue.
Continuing northwest from Scott’s Head Pinnacle there is a volcanic ridge that leads out to Crater’s Edge. This site is guaranteed to give to you all what you expected. Staring into the blue are masses of black jack, bar jacks, rainbow runners, tuna, yellowtail snapper and cero, all pursuing schools of baitfish who dart back and forth in a futile attempt to escape their hunters. If you can peel your eyes from this frantic activity and look toward the pinnacle you will see waterfalls of Creole wrasse and brown and blue chromis. Behind all this activity is a spectacular wall covered in colourful sponges and giant barrel sponges. It is not uncommon to be followed by one or two giant barracuda escorting you from the area. The Crater’s Edge Pinnacle can easily be circumnavigated during a single dive, or one could follow the volcanic ridge towards Scott’s Head Pinnacle.
