West Point is a reef site in San Andrés, Colombia, characterised by a wall or slope that descends from a shallow 8-metre reef top to a maximum depth of 40 metres. Divers experience consistent visibility of 30 metres, which allows for clear views across the structure. The site features swim-throughs, requiring careful buoyancy control to navigate these overhead environments safely. Conditions are generally stable with mild currents and water temperatures ranging between 28 and 29 degrees Celsius. Due to the significant depth, this site is suited for intermediate divers who can manage nitrogen levels and depth discipline. Access is available via both shore and boat entries.
