... the pier, hundreds of grouper gather, awaiting for their next meal of bread from a generous tourist. Tuna and occasionally a silver tip shark will swim by. The island is protected by a ring of beautiful purple and orange hued coral. The clear sea green water allows you to see far below to dark depths harboring blowfish, pikes, lion fish, moray eels.

Check out some of the hundreds of snorkeling and dive photos!
