We dove this site recently and enjoyed it. We went a little later in the morning and learned that previous reviewers who mentioned 11 am were right - the winds pick up significantly around 11 or 12, and the entry gets a little choppier. Definitely do-able if you're careful, but if you're not experienced with shore diving, you might just plan to go early. We saw beautiful schools of fish, a puffer fish, a garden eel, and more. It was a great dive.
