Comments We have dove there all year, and there is always something different to see each time. We never go away disappointed. There is a site on facebook to guide 1st timers- such as tides, where to enter, etc. we also check there to find the latest viz reports. The viz varies from 2 ft- to 60 ft. The water now is green and the viz iffy since hurricane Irma went through. On any given day you might see spotted eagle rays, sting rays, nurse shark, puffers, morays- green or spotted, flying gurnards, batfish, sea horses, frog fish- there are 2 books just devoted to the many inhabitants of the Bridge.I think our favorite creature to see there is the octopus- many are playful. second are the sea horses- large and bright colored. It is necessary to arrive well ahead of dive time for a parking spot; in the summer we often get close to a 2 hr. dive due to it's shallow max depth of 22 ft.
