As your captain and crew tie up to the mooring, look toward the rocky shore of Buck Island and see if you can find it! Once you see the above rock, you will soon understand why we call this dive site Dive Flag Rock. At Dive Flag, you descend into shallow sand, and make a short swim to a cluster of coral. Juvenile fish collect among the coral heads, but then you can descend down a coral-encrusted wall to the sand below for a depth of about 60 feet. As you swim along the slope, you can observe large schools of fish, the occasional young black tip reef sharks, spotted eagle rays and barracuda.
