Eagle Rock

  • 391

Eagle Rock is a great site for all levels of training. The sloping rocky reef gradually descends to the sand at 60 ft. In the shallows at the wall there is a canyon opening up to the south that is around 20 ft deep. Toward the north, the sloping reef turns into a field of boulders.

Great site for macro and medium-size marine life. Cortez and King Angelfish. Morays eels, lobsters, and Giant Hawkfish.
