Diver's Notes

Can only dive at this site if the boat is not docked. Easy entry, difficult exit due to wave action.

Entered South Side of the pier on Flavia's recommendation. Swam along the surface for a short while then descended, almost immediately we spotted a turtle swimming along the sandy bed. Continued to 2nd structure then moved from South to North. When we reached the 2nd structure on the North side we returned along the same route until we reached the same start point, took a heading and headed in shore.


Popular site. Encountered other divers. Abundant sea life. Green Turtle, Tarpon, Cowfish, Snapper
