Dive Description
Crocker Ridges makes up part of Crocker Reef, which is a large loose collection of patch reefs. The 20 foot high ridges border a long valley of white sand running north - south. Larger animals tend to visit this site more than the sites further inshore, perhaps due to its proximity to deep water. Nurse sharks, sea turtles, amberjacks and various rays mix with reef tropicals. Large barrel sponges, waving sea fans and gorgonians break up the coral encrusted terrain.
