I’ve read a lot about Speyside but not much about Crown Point, how do the two ends of the island compare?
The diving is very different in all three regions. The south Atlantic does not have the extensive reefs of the north but still offers some good diving. The reef in the south is not so rich, mostly hard corals, sponges and limestone heads. The fish life is not so abundant but what you dive there for is frequent pelagic encounters. Cove ledge and Flying reef are two dives you’re almost certain to see sharks and rays. If you like the nooks and crannies there are a few good spots on the Caribbean side. Mt Irvine wall, Arnos Vale and Dutchman’s are three of my favourites as they are great for macro and sometimes eagle rays or mantas pass through however,you are at the mercy of the sea conditions and weather as swell or rainfall will churn up the sand bottom and destroy the viz. In Speyside there is reef to equal anywhere in the world, you have largely 90% coral and sponge cover. The reefs are more beautiful and colourful than the south and the fish life is noticeably more abundant. In gener
