There are several dive boats in the area that will take you out if you don't have your own boat. It was a short ride to the site. We saw several turtles and dolphins while on the ride. There are lots of coral heads and an abundance of sea life. A slight current could be felt. Easy navigation around the area. No need for wet suits here, the bottom temp was 85 degrees!
