building. |

| Diving |
|
 |
Diving
at Divers Cove is on the left, to the right and straight out! On the left
there are cracks in the rock that can drop down 15 feet and are fun to explore.
On the right there are several rocks that come clear out of the water, these
are great diving also. Straight out there are several reefs that run parallel
to the beach. This area is a marine preserve and there is no hunting or
gathering allowed! This area has always been good for seeing small sharks
and rays in addition to the other marine life. Depths are to about 35 feet
and marine life is abundant and most are rather small. |
