Site description

This is a popular site for shark dives. The bottom is mostly featureless - a sandy bottom, but given its proximity to the Jupiter inlet and the popularity of the site for shark feeding, this is a site that promises sharks - most of the times. Lemon sharks are nearly always present in this site when it's time for lunch. It is also common to spot reef sharks, bull sharks and great hammer heads lurking around. Occasionally, tiger sharks may show up to the party too. Warning: always be mindful of your surroundings as sharks may come from any direction. Shark feeding could be dangerous if divers don't have the right training. Visit this site with a shark feeding operator - they know what they are doing and accidents are EXTREMELY rare if diving with a reputable operator. Let the professional do their job while you enjoy the scenic view.
