Pretty fast current makes it a fun drift dive, but have your weight scheme down to a science to keep from crashing! Let the current do the work and the dive will be plenty long and enjoyable.

This was a slow drift dive. There were quite a few coral heads on the sand. The current was running from the South to the North. I saw a turtle and a lot of fish. One very large Parrot Fish came swimming over to see us.

This was the first dive of the day. Dove with a bunch of people from farther south on the island. Had to ride in the pickup truck to get on the boat in the Marina. Still wearing just a dive skin. Strong current drift dive. This was a great dive there were plenty of things to see on this dive. Saw some very large Lobster hiding under the overhangs.

From log 2/14/2007, 79 degrees, 100’ vis. Heavly silted (hurricane the year before) but lots of eels, a few splendid toadfish and one octpi eye. 54’ for 66 minutes.

There can be a lot of current on this dive site most of the time and because of the sandy bottom visibility suffers. But if you catch the reef when the current is slow there are opportunities to spot Splendid Toadfish peering out of crevices.
