The secret of this dive is a good dive master. Robert at Capt. Don's was great! He knew all the places to look. He took it very slowly taking exactly an hour to go around the site. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who hasn't mastered there buoyancy as you need to spend most of the time hovering between one and three metres. I'm told that before the hurricane it was superb but it still proved to be the dive highlight of my trip. The corals are spectacular growing perpendicular to the pillars. We saw among other things two frogfish, a turtle, an octopus, two seahorses and several eels. It was busy with two other groups of divers down at the same time as us but since you need to do this one slowly it wasn't a problem most of the time. We were also joined by several large (over two meter) Tarpon using our dive lights to hunt.
