Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. This drift dive around Goat Island is a lush, beautiful reef sloping gently toward the sea.
Currents are extremely variable, from nothing to a fast, steady flow of three knots or more.
This dive site name is descriptive of the cascading garden of hard and soft corals. Sea whips like bonsai trees and stony corals arranged as if in a rock garden, inspire the imagination of an oriental garden. Below the boat is about 30 feet of water, a base of coral heads and big vase and barrel sponges. Depending on the current, you can either leisurely or swiftly begin drifting and descending along the sloping shore westward through huge sponges in all sorts of formations, some with red banded coral shrimp and arrow crabs as residents. Black coral trees mingle with the waving sea fans, sea rods, and barrel sponges giving this reef lots of dimension.
