Comments Afternoon winds really kick up on the East End. Mornings can still be lumpy yet boat rides are not very long 15-30 minutes. Is less commercial and more dramatic sites (not well suited for novices) than 7 Mile Beach (like diving in an aquarium/no currents). Excellent dive operation and knowledgeable staff.
