Spadefish Point

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 feet 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 feet, a diver can look down along the ledge and there is a good chance of seeing the green morays that live in the crevices of the ledge or 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 gobies make these aquariums home. An easy dive to navigate and dive at no deeper than 75 feet if a diver chooses, Spadefish Point has much to offer both the novice and the experienced diver.
