We arrived yesterday and got 2 dives in the first day, four today. We've done our home reef, Bari 3x, and headed south to Tori's, Salt Pier, and Aquarius. We wanted to go to Vista Blue and Margate Bay, but the wave action sent us quickly back around the corner. On our dive at Salt Pier, we were checked by the Marine Park folks, who although wouldn't give us "permission" to dive Salt Pier, confirmed what we've heard: If there's no boat docked, and you don't park on Cargill's property (stay outside of the blue "arches"), nobody cares if you dive the pier.
We saw some HUGE Parrotfish in the pilings (Midnight Blue and Rainbow), as well as a couple of good sized Tarpon and a couple of big Baracudas. Of course this is in addition to the thousands of Brown Chromis and other fish populating the reef. We thought Aquarius looked healthier than our last visit in 2008, and visibility was about 60-80' on all dives.
Looking forward to the next 2 weeks!
