04/28/2008 Robert Williams (Avg: 3.63 Review) - Great dive. Lots of soft coral in the shallows, so this would be a great snorkeling site. Saw a huge Green Moray and a large grouper.

07/25/2004 JoAn (Avg: 4.00 Review) - Beach entry was a bit rugged, but if you take your time, you shouldn't have a problem. Shallows were filled with Stag horn coral - very beautiful. Some Barrel sponges in deeper water. Some cool sights: intermediate phase Rock Beauty, Long Snout Butterfly fish, and Golden Tail Moray Eel.

05/31/2004 John Beirne (Avg: 4.12 Review) - This was one of our favorite dives because of the excellent condition, and variety of the reef and plants. There was no noticeable damage by storms or mankind. We had been directed to this site for that reason and went back a few times for the same reason.

05/31/2004 P and J Beirne (Avg: 4.25 Review) - Great site! Fairly easy entry and exit. The way coral used to look--not badly damaged. Loads of fish and a giant moray eel!

10/15/2003 Marge Lawson (Avg: 4.57 Review) - This is another of our favorite shore dives. There is a lot of variety on this dive--lots of sponges, soft and hard corals, wide variety of fish. More black margate here than elsewhere (hey! I wonder if that's why it's named Margate Bay!!!). Lots of tarpon, barracuda, anemones, honeycomb cowfish, etc.

08/21/2002 Fiona Rattray (Avg: 4.78 Review) - Lots of soft corals, some Elkhorn and Staghorn corals too. This was such a nice dive.

04/21/2001 Tom Starkweather (Avg: 4.45 Review) - Awesome... Great reef, great aquatic life. Saw 4 turtles.
