Kirby's Rock
Location. Located at the Northeast face of Caban Island.
Access. 10 min by boat from Eagle Point pier Southwest across the Maricaban Strait.
Average Depth. 40ft
Maximum Depth. 108ft
Conditions. Calm with strong currents. Snorkellers should understand tide tables, choose slack water and stay on the shallow reef, inshore of the rock with visibility up to 100ft.
Kirby's Rock sticks out of the water. On its shoreward side it drops to 5m(16ft), from where the reef slopes upwards to the shore. This side of the rock and the reef to the shore have good coral cover and fish life.
Several crevices harbouring moray eels can be found at the bottom of the wall. There are many whip corals and anemones with clownfish among the coral heads on the sand. There are lots of colourful wrasse, most species of reef fish and the occasional pelagic visitor. An ideal dive for photographers, if you are able to hit slack water.
Caban Cove
Location. Located at the central east face of Caban Island.
Access. 12 min. by boat from Eagle Point pier Southwest across the Maricaban Strait.
Average Depth. 33ft
Maximum Depth. 50ft
Conditions. Calm with little current with visibility can reach 65ft.
A sheltered dive so long as you avoid the outer ends of the cove, where currents can be strong. A good dive for novices, with mixed corals and lots of small fish.
Daryl Laut
Location. Located at the west side of Caban Island.
Access. 13 min. by boat from EAGLE POINT pier Southwest across the Maricaban Strait.
Average Depth. 65ft
Maximum Depth. 90ft
Conditions. Calm with slight current with visibility can reach 65 ft.
The site is not one of the best but is interesting for beginners. It has plenty of the smaller reef fishes.
