Named for a scarred Green Moray
Eel who could proudly say "you should see the other guy” "Scarface"
is a high-ledge dive site that is a little shallower than
Captain Mike's or Area 51. At 65' on top of the ledge and 80' at
the sand, "Scarface" is a great site for novice to experienced
drift divers. For the new-comers, the top of the ledge has a
series of bowls that are home to many species of tropical fish.
Sixty (60) different species are the norm here. Five(5) species
of angel fishes, three (3) species of butterfly fishes, three
(3) species of hamlets, several species of Wrasses, five or six
(5-6) species of Grunts, Yellowhead Jawfishes, barracuda,
southern rays, Atlantic Spadefish, Yellowtail Snapper, Blennies,
Gobies and many more all call "Scarface" home. Experienced
divers enjoy poking around under the ledges for the napping
Loggerhead Turtles, Nurse Sharks, or "Scarface's" Green Moray
Eel offspring (often five to six feet long) who may be guarding
a hole or free-swimming in search of a meal. With the gorgeous,
easy to navigate ledge, and so many fish and other marine
critters, "Scarface" is drift-diving crowd-pleaser. |

dive site is one of the most spectacular sites the Jupiter Dive
Center has to offer.

Julie's is often chosen as a
second dive on a 2-tank trip because it is
relatively shallow at 65' t 75'. Julie's has
