Main Story 

James Latham of Ocean Frontiers 

“High Rock Drop Off”
East End boat dive
The pin is in 50ft of water. Once you get to it, enter the swim-through underneath which will pop you out of the wall at 100ft. Head west following along the wall until you come to an opening that takes you through another swim-through into a stunning sand chute at 50ft on top of the reef. This site is revered for its topography, but you might see Southern Stingrays, Reef Sharks off the wall and Hawksbill Turtles. Head back to the boat once you leave the sand chute and don’t forget your safety stop.

“Three Sisters”
East End boat dive
This site is named after three sisters in East End known for their charity work, and the three pinnacles in the area are called Agatha, Bertha and Cleo.
The pin is in 55-60ft of water. You’ll then drop into a sheer canyon which you follow out to the wall at about 100ft. The three pinnacles rise up from the deep, and you can spend your time swimming amongst them and exploring. This is a great site for spotting Caribbean Reef Sharks and schooling fish, and as the pinnacles are pretty close together, you don’t have to exert yourself swimming long distances.
Once you head back to the top of the reef look for Gorgonian Fans as you make your way back to the boat. Safety stop then head for the surface.
