Baker's Bay and diving off Guana north end

We woke up after a night in Fisher's Bay, and eased to the north just a couple of miles to Baker's Bay, with its long curving beach. We anchored and went ashore and watched a tractor pulling a seaweed removal and beach raking machine up and down the mile long beach. I hoped he wasn't going to yell at us for making crazy footprints all over his manicured beach! He just smiled and waved at us.

Then we loaded dive gear into the Whaler, and set out for the outside. We found a great spot to dive, using the bottom machine. There was sand at 45' with rocky formations up to about 20-ish. There were narrow cuts to swim thru, and great formations. The coral didn't look to good, and there weren't many tropicals, although we did see some fish, and a very large snapper, and one small nurse shark.

After our dive, we slid through the reef, and returned to the boat for lunch, and to fill the dive tanks.

Then we went out again, to the inshore reef on the Atlantic side, and did some snorkeling. We stopped by the Atlantic side beach on the way back. The surf was rolling in, and Allen did a little body surfing and wave hopping.

Then we returned to the boat and have free internet! Pork chops for supper.. Life is good! I bet we go to bed at dark tonight!

  2. You should learn more about what that golf course is doing to the reef. Sad, but interesting. Thanks for the post!
