10/17/2003 Hal Ross (Avg: 3.49 Review) - I did not do the rock, but what we call the "Iron Mines" just a short ways from Dinner Rock. Great dive, pick your tides as the current will run. But an excellent cliff dive, huge sponge, caves. If you want a current dive in a relatively secure area., do it here! PS: the MV Gulf Stream is too deep for me. 160, no time.

08/17/2003 Robert BC (Avg: 3.98 Review) - Great Place, great live, nice shore access. Nice big octopus at the base of the island.
