About this site
Prickly Pear is a reef dive at the Prickly Pear Cays off Anguilla, one of the better-known dive areas around the island. The maximum depth is about 7.6 metres, so the dive stays shallow.
Current is light and visibility is great. Pillar coral, sponges and other corals cover the reef, and the cays are noted for their varied marine life and unusual underwater landscapes.
