10/24/2007 Anonymous (Avg: 4.53 Review) - Great dive site for both beginners and advanced divers. I saw huge schools of barracuda, angelfish, parrotfish, lots of lobsters, and two huge sting rays. There are endless amounts of small creatures on the bottom, so take your time as you cruise along.

08/23/2007 Anonymous (Avg: 3.78 Review) - Lots of life. We've seen octopuses every time we go. Tons of reef fish, eels, lobster.

08/12/2007 Mike Walsh (Avg: 4.01 Review) - Try it, and you will enjoy it! On I 95 take exit # 76 and go east. Go over the Intercoastal Bridge and you will see a park on the left. Go into park and bear left. Parking is free! Park near the bridge & small beach. Diving can only be done at slack tide! There well be no current at this time. Have fun and be safe. Please have fun, be safe and don't damage the coral as it is coming back!

05/26/2007 J. Hasley (Avg: 3.34 Review) - Dive the site beginning one hour before slack tide up to one hour after slack tide and visibility is crystal clear. Once the tides are moving, visibility quickly goes to near zero. For a shallow dive there is an impressive collection of life including stone crabs, lobster (occasionally one or two of legal size), snook, snapper, sheephead, octopus, sharp tooth eels, and a number of tropicals. All of these can be seen regularly and on just one dive. Night diving couldn't be easier and is better than day diving. You can park on the street right next to the stairs to access the beach. It's a short walk down a clean, firm sand beach to the water.

10/27/2003 Don the Seadog (Avg: 3.71 Review) - Dove many times; always lots of life; easy currents and usually god vis; great dive for all levels of divers.
