Jones Bay
★★★★☆
(1,620)
Jones Bay is fantastic for learning to dive. It has a sandy sloping bottom with plenty of shellfish. There is also a significant reef structure that provides shelter from the current.
There are often schools of fish, stingrays, eagle rays, snapper, and kingfish. Nudibranch and Octopus can also be found here.
