| Dive Description | |
| Cheeck Rocks has small coral patches with large brain corals and many soft corals. It is an easy dive, highly appropriate for snorkeling or beginning divers. Surrounding the coral heads is a sandy patch, where conch and turtle can be found. The occasionaly nurse shark would give the beginning diver an exciting, albeit safe thrill (just don't pull their tails!). |
