1000 Steps is a great dive! There is more to see in shallow water there than almost anywhere. The last dive on our last trip we did 1 hour and 18 minutes because we started out at 45' or so and but when we turned back at half tank we spent the rest of the dive in 20' or less. The volume of "stuff" is incredible!
Oil Slick is also a wonderful dive. One morning we headed north and did an hour dive by going staight out from the leap and heading south. During our SI, the owner of Cactus Blue (very nice restaurant) drove by and asked if we saw the seahorses. We had not so he told us where they had been spotted, in 32' of water about 30 yards north of the leap. We figured "what the heck" so we geared up and did it again, heading north this time. Sure enough, 30-40 yeards north in exactly 32 feet of water was the prettiest 5" red seahorse. Not only did he pose for me to take his picture, he even calmly swam from one piece of soft coral to another. Needless to say we had to go eat at Cactus Blue that night to say thanks and it happened to be their one year anniversary at the restaurant.
