Named for one of our favorite captains and instructors, this site is located on the north side of Buck Island. You descend into shallow sand, and make a short swim to a coral ridged drop off. Juvenile fish and turtles collect amount the coral heads along the ledge, and make a wonderful dive themselves, but then you descend down the coral encrusted slope to approximately 75 feet, where you reach a sandy bottom. As you swim along the slope, you can observe picturesque coral as schooling fish swim before you. Pay attention to the many small fish, gobies, wrasses, parrotfish and trunk fish. Trumpet fish are also easily found in the plentiful gorgonians. Don't forget to look away from the slope from time to time, to see stingrays or gardens watching you from the sand.
