This is easy to find on good roads; just follow the map and signs. Night diving was fantastic! There is a full-service dive shop at the entrance ladder for the dive. There is a forty yard surface swim, or just start down twenty yards out from the bottom of the ladder. You can do an out and back along the bottom of the wall and at top of wall. Bottom is approximately 60 feet. Night life includes basket stars, two kinds of lobsters, numerous types of shrimp, two kinds of crabs, sleeping bottom-dwelling fish from the scorpion fish family, one squid, three octopus, green and spotted moray eels, tarpon, puffers, sea-cucumbers, squirrel fish, sgt. majors -both phases, hound fish feeding on krill in our lights, anemones, and numerous colors of coral. |
