Spadefish Point is a partial high-ledge dive site that has a
series of cul-de-sacs carved into the top of the ledge. As
divers drift north they have several choices of depths. Along
the bottom of the ledge at around 80' one might encounter
napping loggerhead turtles, a nurse shark, or a Goliath Grouper.
Choosing to cruise the top edge of the ledge between 65' and
75', a diver can look down along the ledge and look to the East
on top of the edge are the chances of seeing the green Morays
that live in the crevices of the ledge and the green, Hawksbill,
and Loggerhead Turtles that are most often found on top of the
ledge. About half-way through this dive in one of the
cul-de-sacs is a gorgeous arch usually protected by a school of
Porkfish, The arch stands away from the secondary shallow ledge
and offers a terrific opportunity for photographers. The other
cul-de-sacs (mostly in the 60' to 70' range) are home to many
tropical fish. Angelfish, Hamlets, Wrasses, Grunts, Blennies,
and Gobles make these "aquariums" home. As an easy dive to
navigate and dive at no deeper than 75' if a diver chooses,
"Spadefish Point" has much to offer both the novice and the
experienced diver. |
