Easy entry! Short 4' climb down a ladder watching for swells. Immediate corals. 20' swim to clear entry area, drops to approx.15'. Nice lazy swim uw in an easy surge for about 100yds. When you reach the edge of horse shoe shaped wall, it's a good time to double check with buddy(s). Bottom at this point drops to about 50' to 65'. You can stay above coral in 25' on the left and right. Beautiful, very colorful, many species of fish large and small, eels, scorpion fish, turtles, many varieties of coral, sea fans... OR, you can glide straight off the wall. fantastic formations left and right. On the left as you round the corner of the reef, there is a large, very large coral head not attached to the reef that you can spend quite a bit searching. If you stay to the reef wall around the corner, there is a huge over hang, usually filled with large tarpon just hanging out. The reef weaves in and out for a very long way, so watch your air. 1/3 out, 1/3 back, there is plenty to see without leaving the general entry area. Off to the right, the wall rather tucks in on itself down to the sea floor. simply awesome, best place in the world for night dives. Occasionally there is a gentle current, just keep yourself streamlined and take your time. There is so much to see. OR, check in at the Dive Tech Store and rent scooters. Oh, yeah, if you go straight out for a couple hundred yards from the first reef, you can reach the main wall, which of course drops down to extreme depths and encirles all of GCI. Dive safe, take pictures, leave only bubbles!!!

This was our first return to the Caribbean following several trips to the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. To be honest, it was a little disappoiting compared to the Pacific.
Of course, Stingray City is a great dive and there were several turtle encounters, but there were NO sharks, few soft coral, and marginally healthy hard corals.
This is a good destination for new divers as there are few currents, enough animal life to keep it interesting, and very warm water; it was 86 degrees when we were there!
