Spur-and-groove reef and wall sites 15–20 minutes by boat from Turtle Cove, on the barrier reef of Princess Alexandra National Park off Grace Bay.
Practical
Coordinate approximate: a point seaward of the barrier reef off Grace Bay (derived from the park and reef positions); dive moorings aren't individually published. Dive Provo descriptions: Grouper Hole is a deep sandy grotto above a gently sloping wall; Aquarium has huge schools of grunts and snapper over exaggerated spur and groove down to about 100 ft; Graceland has a sand chute and swim-through to the wall at 50 ft, with reef sharks possible; Cathedral is easy to navigate between a short vertical section and a fishy reef corner; Coral Gables and Pinnacles (pillar coral stands) are nearby. Diveable all summer, but often blown out in winter. National park: no take; use moorings only.
