Get in

Are you ready for an underwater adventure? Dive into the depths of Gordons Bay or Harbour Island with our boat dive. Anchoring off the cliffs in front of the resort houses, you'll immerse yourself in the vibrant marine ecosystem at a depth of 15m to 20m. Don't forget to stay offshore to avoid the crashing waves, for a smoother and more exhilarating experience. If you're up for a shore dive, head to the gully. Park on the seaward side of the road above the inlet to the north east of the resort at Steenbras River mouth. While it may be a hike down to the water, don't worry, it's not difficult. Take a moment to scout the path before getting ready. Enter the water in the inlet closer to Steenbras mouth, where the surge is much calmer compared to the one nearer to Gordon's Bay. For another exciting shore dive, make your way to the river mouth. Park as close to the bridge as legally possible and look for the entry point under the bridge. Take a scenic walk upstream of the bridge or try the steeper path right next to the road. It might be a bit shallow at first, but wade for about 50m and you'll reach the deep enough water to swim. Get ready to explore the underwater wonders that await you!
