Close Encounters is an intermediate dive site in Barbados reaching 30 meters depth, named for the close interactions divers often have with marine life here. The site features a sloping reef with large brain corals and sea fans, where hawksbill turtles regularly cruise by within arm's reach. Spotted moray eels, lobsters, and octopuses are common sightings in the reef's many hiding spots.
