North Pole Cave (San Salvador)

A half-moon vertical chimney from 65 ft that drops through the reef into crevices on the wall face below 100 ft - a favourite for hammerhead sightings.
Practical
Position is approximate: Sail Abacos listing position, checked to be in water off the marina. San Salvador's wall sites carry dive-operator moorings - Noonsite says to use one of the 50-plus mooring buoys rather than anchor when diving on your own. Most sites are on the lee (west and south) side, 10-20 minutes by boat from Riding Rock Marina, with the reef starting around 40 ft (Riding Rock). Remote island: dive conservatively. Advanced dive: crevices 4-10 ft wide at 100+ ft.
