Deep Boulders is a boat-access reef dive in Mustique, defined by large boulder formations that create varied topography between 7 and 23 metres. The site offers visibility ranging from 18 to 25 metres, with water temperatures between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. Divers experience mild currents throughout the 45-minute dives. Due to the presence of sharp coral and rock edges, careful positioning is required to avoid injury. Entanglement hazards exist within the crevices of the structure, and boat traffic in the area necessitates the use of a surface marker buoy during all ascents. This site is suited for intermediate divers.
