Elkhorn Forest

Elkhorn Forest is a local dive site near West End, Cotton Tree Bay, and Rock, forming a shallow, sheltered area typical of calm coastal diving. Access is easy from nearby towns with short surface intervals and gentle entry. The site features a mix of sandy patches and scattered reefs with moderate visbility and a gentle slope that supports macro life and small reef fish. Common species in this region include damselfish, parrotfish, wrasse, and gobies, with occasional octopus or small groupers around structure. It is well suited for beginner to intermediate divers looking for a relaxed dive close to shore.
