i was there on the 11th doing my 1st 2 O/W dives w/my diveclass. doing my final 2 O/W dives there next sunday weather permitting.

i dont know if i was at the left cove, but i did take a left when i entered ft wetherhill; drove a few hundred meters and took a right into a parking lot that had 2 'boat ramps' if you dare call them that.

i had to keep letting water into my suit just to stay cool; that's how nice the water was.

saw a lot of crabs and jellyfish. i didnt expect to see anything remotely interesting there, but i actually enjoyed it a lot!

cant wait till next week...hope to see some of you there!

Excellent.

if you stand in the parking lot facing south....right into the tree line...there are 2 cove one to the left and one to the right.....right cove has a boat ramp....left cove has a goat trail.

good luck with your final dives I will probably be there with a basic OW class both sat and sun.
