Turtle Crossing Shallow

★★★★☆ (1,198)

This perfectly diverse site with sand patches and reef makes it a great site for all levels, located in West Bay at 20 feet depth. Quite the swim to the wall which drops to 120 feet.

As the name suggests, it’s common to spot turtles here! Look for jaw fish in the sand, nudi’s, crabs and lobsters in the creviches.
