A favorite among staff and customers alike, Snapper Hole is a bastion of East End dive sites — the boat crew can often be seen fighting over who has to stay onboard and watch bubbles while the others dive. It is a labyrinth of swim-throughs, tunnels, caverns, crevasses, and arches. Right under the boat is an impressive cavern that became world-famous after being featured in a BBC nature documentary filmed during a two-week stay in 2014, capturing Tarpon and Jacks predating on vast schools of Dwarf Herring that fill these shadowy spaces during summer.
Outside the cavern, a sizeable Spanish-style anchor from 1872 rests against a freestanding coral head and is always surrounded by Bluestriped Grunts and Schoolmaster Snappers. Have your photo taken looking through the anchor's huge shackle for a unique souvenir. Porkfish live under the countless ledges, and a Green Moray can often be seen swimming through the canyons — unafraid of divers, it can raise a few pulses when encountered face-to-face in a confined space. On your way back to the boat, visit 'Papa Smurf's House' — a coral head nestled in the reef that looks like a giant mushroom.
