Diving
at Main Beach is to the west of the staircase that takes you down to the
beach. There are several rock reefs straight out and to the west. The entry
is very rocky and is easier if you go in on the east side of the reef then
head west on the dive. The area is is 10 to 25 feet deep around the rocks.
If the there are waves and surge stay away from the rocks it's easy to get
thrashed in the shallows. There is a submerged pier off of this beach also. |
