Ledges of Little St James
There is no hiding why this site is called the Ledges of Little St. James. Located on the west side of the island, Little St. James, the sand has drifted away from under the coral ridges and outcroppings, leaving amazing formations to explore. The ledges run along the island at two depths, so you can dive along the reef at 45 feet out and 25 feet back, making for a long visit with schools of French grunt, Spanish lobster, spotted eagle rays and the occasional nurse shark that call this site home.

Stragglers Reef
Stragglers Reef is a combination of healthy reef and large boulders that are covered in life. Start this dive by making your way out to the reef in search of snappers, grouper, lobster condos, and eels! As the tour continues, prepare to navigate in between large cracks and crevices filled with colorful tropical fish.

I took my class and pool work in Ohio but wanted to rush my open water dives (plus avoid the dark and cold waters of Ohio’s quarries). I was on a cruise so I did my first two dives in Puerto Rico and then did dives 3 & 4 in with Aqua Action. The boat was great and my instructor/guide was fantastic. We did my required skills and then I got to enjoy the undersea world of 2 dive locations. I had a great time and my daughter (already certified) also was able to dive the reefs. Highly recommended and they were very friendly and extremely helpful. I look forward to visiting them again in the future and doing more dives!
