Tiger Rock

Big Fishes Reef

This is Bocas’ crown jewel. Accessible only in flat seas, usually in the summer months, and lies much further out from base than the other, more frequently-visited sites. Tiger Rock is the tip of a seamount, around which you’ll circle during your dive. There is something to see at all depths here, though even in calmer seas, surface conditions can be rough. This is a deep dive, in strong currents, with schools of blacktip and silky sharks (tiger and hammerhead sightings reported) and a wide variety of bottom-dwelling creatures, including morays and grouper, in the crevices of the wall. Corals are on the small side but plentiful and varied. The water here is crystal-clear, and the site is on the very edge of the continental slope, tapering off to the abyssal plain, offering beautiful blue views. Travel time is an hour plus, help is a long way off – experienced divers only.
Conditions: strong current, rough entry/exit, excessive depth, and distant location.
