Dive Site - The Bridge
Located a short boat ride from the Dive Shop www.divesxm.com, this dive site gets his name from the concrete pilings from the old Simpson Bay drawbridge that were dumped in 47 feet of water in the late seventies, piling up over each other on the flat sand bottom at random. Nearby, and within swimming distance we can visit tree wrecks, a large sailboat Vinney was laid to rest and for last a smaller sail vessel call " Atlantis" was eded to complement the site. As this man-made reef was created so many years ago, it has attracted generations of grunts, snappers, pufferfish, eels, lobsters, barracudas and much more …. That are now full time residents of the area and seemingly unafraid of divers. In the sea grass patches, you can spot conchs feeding from small crustaceans and stingrays half-buried in the sand. But don't let the abundance of Caribbean critters distract you from looking out in the open once in a while, as larger animals (think dolphin !) have been seen enjoying the area as well. This is a great place for photography, videography and to sharp your navigation skills finding the wrecks…. your mission for the navegation on the advanced course or specialty course will be to find "Atlantis" :) :) :) The Bridge is a great dive site for all levels of experience and for sure is one of the sites with the most marine life concentration and variety… Don't be shy take a pic on the selection of the photos and videos from the old bridge .
