How Hot is this Dive Site? click a star to rate it
This is a dramatic site with two walls. The first one ends in a sand patch at approximately 90 feet. The second goes well beyond the recreational dive limits. Fish and corals are plentiful here, and the top of the reef features a sand patch that is good for open water classes. Rays and turtles are often seen here. Unfortunately, we saw three lion fish here yesterday (November 2009).
