Divers consider the dive site Barracuda Point as one of the best in the world. The aquatic life that can be seen is huge. Some of the more interesting are schools of hawksbill turtles and greenback turtles nesting and mating, schools of barracuda and big-eye trevally, pelagic species such as eagle rays, manta rays, hammerhead sharks and whale sharks can be seen here. Near the wall at ten meters deep are grey reef sharks, which are always patrolling the perimeter here, waiting for lunch.

The dive normally goes as follows. The start is near a wall at about ten metres. The current here brings in lots of food and food means many fish. Cruise along the wall dropping down as far as you wish, and keep an eye out for a herd of bumphead parrotfish and turtles. Don't go too deep though, because the currents can get very strong and sweep you downwards, out and away from the island.
