description of Black Rock dive site
The northern side of Wreck Bay, adjacent to the former Tourist Camp. Entry at a gravel and shingle point, swim out and pick up the reef on the right and swim down to the planned depth, usually around 25m. Heading north there are immense coral slopes and valleys with large black coral “bushes”. Marine life - Emperor, Snapper, Crocodile Fish, Lyre Tail, small Trigger Fish, Wrasse, Parrot Fish, Lion Fish, Scorpion Fish, Box Fish, many Butterfly Fish and regularly visited by Turtles.
The reef has a prolific number of fish and if you are lucky you may see one of the turtles that frequent this site. A new highlight of this dive site is, beneath the new jetty at Club Berenice, shoals of small fish gather providing food for many predators such as Lionfish and Barracuda.
Look carefully and you will find several Frogfish perched on the pier legs. The seagrass area to the South is worth a visit where one can find many grey Morays and the occasional Seahorse. Heading North, there are immense coral slopes and valleys with large black coral "bushes".
