Twin Towers - Little
Jost Van Dyke
DEPTH: 40-90 FEET (12-27 M)
LEVEL: ADVANCED
Tucked away
behind a small point on the north side of Little
Jost Van Dyke is another
site boasting unusual topography. The "Twin Towers" of
this site are two large monolithic rock formations
rising from 90 feet (27 m). From a sloping rocky shoreline,
smaller rock formations offer an abundance of tiny
fish-filled grottos, mini-canyons and caves. Schools
of reef squid are commonly seen here. Spotted eagle
rays are also regular visitors, but divers are often
too busy looking down at the reef and miss them as
they silently soar by. At 90 feet (27 m) your bottom
time is limited, but take advantage of your brief allotment
to explore the base of the Twin Towers, especially
the convoluted rock and rubble area between the two.
Their sides are not overly covered with corals, but
their colossal stature is impressive.
