camera to any of these sites!

Reef covers the top of the wall and offers spectacular hide-outs
for eels and rays.

and sponge formations make this site incredibly pretty.
-
Wreck on the Wall is literally a wreck on a wall! Only the
hull of this old Haitian freighter remains precariously balanced

looking for a hide out. Swim to the right for the fun stuff!
-
The Sand Chute
is a sand chute and a cave leading down to a wall.
-
The Bahama Mama is a four fold experience. First of all there
is the wreck of the Bahama Mama, an old party boat, secondly there
is the wall, thirdly there is a coral head 60 feet off the bow and
about 20 kick cycles away (stuffed with moray eels) and finally
there are sharks-lots of male Caribbean reef sharks. This a dive
to really get your teeth into, you'll be kept busy way beyond the
realms of tables so keep your eye on the needle!!

The
Will Laurie is a 100 ft mail boat sitting in about 55 feet of
water and surrounded by reef. Divers should try to visit at night:
the wreck attracts literally hundreds of trumpetfish hanging upside
down in the top framework and vibrant orange coral attached to the
hull of the boat can be seen totally 'out' and feeding.

the wall and was an old fishing boat.
-
The
James Bond Wrecks are two wrecks side by side. The first is
the remnants of a movie prop used in Thunderball made to look like
a Vulcan Bomber. Today the scaffolding left resembles a colorful
jungle gym smothered in hard and soft corals. The second wreck is
the Tears of Allah, a freighter used in the movie Never Say Never
Again where 007 managed to escape the clutches of a Tiger Shark.
The wreck is penetrable and is surrounded by reef.
