This is a perfect dive site for beginners, photographers and night dives, well protected from the boat traffic above by buoys.

Unbelievable site with stingrays, eagle rays seals, lobsters and octopuses.

This dive might be also a good site for divers to do after a long time without diving some refresher in shallow water.

You will find a couple of old canons, one old anchor and cannon balls on this site to make the first dive for beginners a great memory.

j1mbr0wn - 9/07/2012 9:38 AM Rating Added: 3 This is a very shallow dive. It was a good way to outgas after St. George Wreck (although other’s may prefer the bar.) This is definately a beginner’s site, set up to introduce the newbies to bubble blowing. Don’t expect much and you’ll be happy. Me, I like just getting wet, so it passed my test. :)
