BEGINNER LEVEL  ::  DRIFT DIVE / WALL DIVE
A much under-rated dive, Turtle Cove begins with an entry point in a small, blue hole and exits onto a beautiful and healthy wall - this is a spectacular dive.  There is a great variety of marine life on this dive - a nice combination of small fish, corals and sharks.  The wall is an excellent place to spot lionfish, eels, and scorpion fish.  Even though the name suggest turtles, it doesn't necessarliy mean that this is a 'turtle' dive - the site gets its name from the remains of a turtle that were found here when the it was discoverd.  Any turtles you do see here will probably be toward the end of the dive in shallower water.

As you approach the corner you will swim through a large school of black snappers.  At the corner proper, you will see schools of bigeye trevally, cruising sharks.  More unusual species, like frog fish, leaf fish and nudibranchs, can also be found on the dive if you look closely.  This is a great dive for both macro and wide angle photography.
