Animas Slot Rock Islet Snorkel
28° 50.3′ N · 113° 14.9′ W · approximate
A full circum-swim of the big rock islet that forms the west wall of the Animas Slot — a new habitat every couple hundred metres and fish throughout.
Practical
Coordinate is the Animas Slot anchorage (verified in this file); the islet forms the slot's western wall. Let the current decide whether and when you try the full loop. At low tide the channel between the islet and the shore may be too shallow to pass, so a high slack tide is best. Anchor between the prominent SE rocky reef and the south end of the islet in 20–25 ft, good sand.
Best for
Adventurous snorkel at high slack
