07/18/2004 Lee (Avg: 3.26 Review) - Our first shore dive not using a boat dock. Entry was not as bad as it looked. We swim slowly and saw so many critters that we never made it to the reef drop-off. Had a great time getting photos of squid.

10/15/2003 Marge Lawson (Avg: 3.98 Review) - Went here with a couple of snorkeling friends. Lots of interesting fish in the shallows for them. Fairly long swim out to drop off. Saw some large orange elephant ear sponges, some gold entail and spotted morays, a couple of juvenile drum fish, file fish, etc.

11/28/2002 Fiona Rattray (Avg: 4.10 Review) - You enter through the water channel for the Solar Salt works, so the water in the channel is way saltier and warmer than the surrounding sea. A minor surface swim IMHO, and the soft corals were healthy on the reef. Salt channel is protected against surge (if it happens).

10/25/2002 Lorraine Bayford (Avg: 3.85 Review) - This was a great dive. Lots of fish and plant life. Bit of a long surface swim. Fairly easy entry but watch out for those scorpion fish hiding where you enter. Watch where you step.

08/23/2001 Anonymous (Avg: 4.07 Review) - Really enjoyed this dive, lots of plant and animal life. Will definitely do again in Nov!!!
