Blowing Rock
The archipelago's most famous dive site, where a volcanic rock pillar rises above the sea and fish, nurse sharks and rays gather along the reef wall below.
Blowing Rock is a volcanic rock pillar about 15 km south of Big Corn Island. It rises from a seabed about 24 metres deep and breaks the surface, and it got its name because when swells crash against it, it spouts jets of water. The rock wall and surrounding reef flats teem with fish, and nurse sharks, eagle rays, sea turtles and large groupers are common. The site is only suitable for divers with some experience, and boats only go out when the sea is calm. The trip takes about 30–40 minutes by boat from Big Corn Island and about 1 hour from Little Corn Island. Advance booking with a dive shop is required.
