I went lobster diving here 12/13/14. This site is deep, 126 ft on the dive computer. The marine life is ok, but we saw the largest school of angelfish I’ve seen. The visibility was 50 - 60 ft, but the lobstering was better on the ledges.

I went scuba diving here on 8/19/2014. Average viz: 41-50ft/12-15m. Water temp: 81-85°F/27-29°C.
Great visibility this date. Saw an injured loggerhead at a cleaning station....cool to see the other fish cleaning him off. Parrot fish, cow fish, trumpet fish, lobster, filefish, and various other reef life. This dive is usually done in conjunction with Toybox. Toybox is a sunken barge full of rocks. BIG resident grouper and lots of reef life. All in all, a great one tank dive done together.
