Scuba Diving & Snorkeling

Home to the third-largest barrier reef, Salt Cay is a diver’s paradise. Explore vibrant reefs and a legendary 18th-century British warship, rated among the top ten wreck dives globally. Snorkeling spots abound—from Point Pleasant and Lighthouse Bluff to South Cemetery and Deane’s Dock (ideal for night snorkeling).
