Split Rock, named for the narrow canyon dividing the reef, is a fantastic wall dive. Divers start by descending through the split, which looks as if it was carved into the rock. Heading east, they reach a ledge covered in black coral. In the morning, sunlight filters through, creating dreamy silhouettes, while afternoon dives are perfect for capturing fine details in photos.

Split Rock, named for the narrow canyon dividing the reef, is a fantastic wall dive. Divers start by descending through the split, which looks as if it was carved into the rock. Heading east, they reach a ledge covered in black coral. In the morning, sunlight filters through, creating dreamy silhouettes, while afternoon dives are perfect for capturing fine details in photos.
West of the pin, several headlands jut out from the wall, each with prolific black coral growth. A slight current is common here, making it fascinating to watch coral polyps twitch as they catch passing plankton.
Deep sponges, like Brain and Tubulate Sponges, often host Brittle Stars—odd creatures with hairy legs that can split in half and regrow!
Split Rock rewards multiple dives, as numerous tunnels and swim-throughs weave through the reef wall. Exploring a different one each time guarantees a fresh and exciting experience!
