This dive site, Jackson's Bar, is a substantial rock formation rising from the seabed at a depth of 32 meters (approximately 100 feet). The area is known for its strong currents that consistently flow over the rock. These currents play a significant role in attracting diverse marine life. Mid-water cruises are common among tunas and barracudas, while larger groupers seek shelter amongst the rocks. Larger pelagic animals like manta rays, eagle rays, and white-tip reef sharks occasionally visit Jackson's Bar to be cleaned by smaller resident fish.
