Travel Guide Chub Cay

With the proximity of the Tongue of the Ocean, large drop-offs can be seen near the Berry Islands. The islet of Chub Cay is famous for its crystal clear waters and the good visibility of its seabed. The numerous coral gardens that dot the bottom are the meeting places for reef sharks and eagle rays; the vertiginous drop-offs, which drop down to 2,000 m, and beautiful wrecks are the main underwater curiosities of the Berry Islands. Here are a few spots:Mama Rhoda Rock. A real Japanese underwater garden.
