The site has a high profile reef ledge that rises 10 to 15 feet from the bottom.
This reef offers a sight similar to that of reefs in the Florida Keys with a healthy concentration of staghorn, star, and brain corals.
Fish life is plentiful and lobsters, crabs, and moray eels can be found underneath ledges that rise about four feet from the bottom.
Boat traffic is heavy in the area and divers should exercise caution when exploring this reef. (Divespots)
