CONDITIONS:

This north shore dive site is also known to some as Secret Beach. Diving can be quite good here due to a clean sandy bottom. Some scattered large rocks are homes for all types of marine life. Depth of water ranges from 15 to 25 feet, and divers will feel a mild tidal flow, mostly when swimming on the surface.

This site is often used by diving instructors for open water training because of the commonly good visibility, lack of strong current and parking availability. In fact, during some spring weekends, this place is anything but a secret beach, since there can be anywhere from ten to over 100 divers participating in open water dive training.
