Turtle Canyon (East)
★★★★☆
(4,673)
Turtle Canyon is an easy, beginner level dive with a maximum depth of only 40ft, and good visibility being common any time of the year. A mild to strong current can occasionally come through, though usually current is little to none. Moorings are present, making for easy ascents/descents.
The reef is a finger reef. Eels are very common. Also, octopuses, devil scorpionfish and the occasional eagle rays fly through.
