New road for getting to this site makes for easy access (thus the crowds on weekends, but everyone is civil). Great dive with lots of small sea life with the occasional turtle and ray. Valley splitting the reef is seductive so be sure to keep an eye on your depth gauge - I was at 110' before realizing it. An easy kick out to the reef, then drop down to reef top at about 30'. Definitely a 2-tank dive. Excellent facilities -snack bar, restrooms, rinse tanks, chairs and umbrellas - with recent road improvements. Small fee to use chairs and beach but worth it (you're on vacation so loosen the purse strings). Plan on spending an entire day diving and relaxing.
