Mixing Bowl or Three Fathom Wall is a dive site where you can experience the vertical depths of Bloody Bay's wall dives and the great sloping reefs and sandy patches of Jackson's Bay. Among both mentioned names, this dive site has several other names such as Bloody, Jackson and Ball's Bay. Three Fathom Wall starts at a depth of three fathom which is approximately 18 feet, making this one of the few places for snorkellers to experience life on the wall.
The west side of Three Fathom Wall offers many pelagic species, sharks and turtles. You will be able to touch the silky sides of many groupers that ignorantly keep swimming next to you. The east side where Jackson's Bay starts offers a nice ridge filled with snappers and grunts. Just on top of the ridge in the sandy flats you will find stingrays, yellow-headed jawfish and eagle rays. It is a haven for tiny marine life and perfect for macro photographers. Both sides are done as night dives as well with many lobsters, eels and groups of reef squid.
