There is nice coral on the north side of Malus, and the north side of Rosemary. Some good deep diving around Bare
rock. If you have access to a smaller boat there is some great
camping and shallow diving around Collier Rocks (up the end of Flying Foam Passage) - you have to watch the tides there as you can easily get stuck for 5 or 6 hours - I have.....(many times..). If the weather is good - a trip over to Delambre is
well worth it - good
anchorage to sleep on the boat or shore and the diving is amazing
Have fun

Drew,
thanks for the info. I have ordered the paper charts from the area (boat
shop did not have stock). If anything else pops into your mind, the more ideas the better :)) ..
thanks, help is appreciated
