Dive Sites
Snowfields has been a popular site for years. For some of the people who live here it is as close as they will ever get to seeing snow. Coral heads are laced with delicate white formations brimming with life. Visibility is excellent, helping divers spot some of the smaller, more reclusive reef dwellers.
The Chimney is a vertical tunnel, which descends from 50 feet to 100 feet. It leads to a coral cavern. Coral heads rise from the floor and there are encrusted forms along the sides. From the cavern a ravine leads to a drop-off at 130 feet.
Dynamite Wall is a fine example of the dividable tunnels that cut deep into the reef walls of Rum Cay. Staghorn and other species hang from the wall and sides of the canyons.
On Rum Cay's Northwest Wall deep sites such as Pinder Reef hold predictable sightings of sharks, rays and barracuda. Elsewhere divers explore tunnels and canyons that cut into the reef base under Rum Cay.
The entire island is virtually surrounded by fine, white coral sand, making it very easy to walk, relax and enjoy.
