At the entry of this site stands a memorial plaque for a diver who died here in the 1970s. The dive itself is calm and not difficult; the plaque is why almost everyone pauses for a moment before going in.
Jeff Davis Memorial is an advanced shore dive on the west coast: a memorial plaque at the entry, a reef top at five to seven metres and a slope to thirty-five metres.
A short sand strip to a reef top at five to seven metres with finger coral and sponges. The slope drops gradually to thirty-five metres, with sea fans and black coral in the depths. Parrotfish and grunts on the top, now and then an eagle ray.
Year round in easterly wind. In the morning the visibility over the top is best.
Small car park and an entry over coral grit. No shade, no water, no toilet. The site is a memorial: leave the plaque alone and do not use it as a photo moment.
Decisions on diveability, technique and health belong with STINAPA, a dive school or a doctor. This page only describes the conditions.
The plaque remembers a diver who died here and has stood there since the 1970s. Memorials like this lie at various points along the coast; they belong to the history of dive tourism on the island and are maintained by dive schools.
