 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): The name is testament of those not making entry during the "calm". Surges come every 15 min to 18 minutes...you need to time them. They last 5 to 7 waves. If you find yourself returning during a "Surge" hug one of the walls. There is a 60 Ft vertical cave at the south west entry point, a one-at-the-time cave, with some turns, make sure you play the smaller swells. Go around the island in front. Big wall, some sun fish to play with. There is another dive to the north West. It's called the "Sunken Island".
