This site is a submerged pinnacle that comes within 15 feet of the surface. It has vertical walls that drop to 90
feet then slope off beyond that. Conditions were a 3-4 foot swell with waves causing surge above 35 feet.
We went down the wall and swam around for about 10 minutes then had a manta ray swim by and started to
interact with our group of divers. The manta stayed with us the rest of the dive circling from diver to diver.
Allowing us to touch it and approach very close. Folowed us up from deep right to the safety stop.
