Mary's Place
Fissures in the coral form a deep, sheer-faced maze at this one-of-a-kind dive site. Winding through, you'll likely see jacks, lobsters and crabs, and huge schools of silversides; near the mooring, keep an eye out for seahorses. Mary's Place is near French Harbour, and is usually combined with another south-side dive and lunch at Hole in the Wall restaurant.
A one-time 10.00 park fee should be added to equipment hire. Please only use shops that are part of this effort - there's a list of member shops at the marine park's website. The money goes toward anti-poaching and reef protection programs. It costs a little more, but one dive will show you why it's so important.

El Águila Wreck
The Águila was a good dive until Hurricane Mitch came along and broke the ship into three pieces - now it's even better. As you descend, you may draw a crowd of resident moray eels and huge groupers looking for a snack. Cool to see, but a good reason not to feed animals while diving or snorkeling since they can get annoying - and sometimes even aggressive.

Texas
Part of the West End Wall, Texas is so called for its wide open terrain and Texas-sized barrel sponges. A deep, strong current means you can sometimes fly over the reef at four knots without lifting a fin. It's not uncommon to see free swimming morays, large groupers, and even the occasional hammerhead. You may even spot elusive sargassum triggerfish.
