Description

Molly Beday is a small island, or perhaps more accurately, a large rock, off the Dutch side of Sint Maarten. Formerly a known dive site, it did not seem to be currently in use until Octopus Diving began visiting in 2009. The site curves around the steep undersea sides of the rock, from essentially the surface to 80 feet or more below. One of the most salient features of this site are numerous large Elkhorn Corals, which are uncommon in this area. Since it is visited infrequently, the site is largely undisturbed and rich with sea life and corals.
