G-Spot is a wall dive off French Cay where a soft-coral plateau ends at a sharp V-shaped notch and a sheer drop into deep blue water. It is known for its sharks: nurse sharks rest or cruise on the shallow reef top while Caribbean reef sharks patrol nearby.
Also known as G Spot.

The dive
Divers drop into the water over a plateau covered in soft corals and swim to the edge, where the wall forms a sharp V and falls sheer into the blue. The dive runs from 12 m down to 35 m, with plenty of life on the sides of the wall. Nurse sharks lie or cruise about the shallow reef top, and Caribbean reef sharks patrol the shallows.
