done that - First dive in the early afternoon was on the north side. Was quite disappointing. Nothing but impressive stalagmites. Glad we did another dive in the morning the next day on the south side. Saw some reef sharks and one shark that looked at least

- Great scenery. Lots of channels/tunnels from a sandy shallow through the reef to the drop off. We had good visibility of at least 25m. Good corals, a turtle, some rays and in the deep blue a (quite sure) bull shark was waiting for us.

- Decent wall with swim throughs into the reef. Nothing particular spectacular though. Visibility was not quite amazing.
