Full details on Dans' site. Here are some excerpts:

Customer service is excellent. Air temps were in the mid 80s and it was usually windy. Water temps were in the high 70s. Wall diving starts at 50 feet.

You are likely to see: coral, a large number of fish, Fairy Basslets, Yellowheaded Jawfish, Flying Gurnard, Tarpon, rays, turtles and Spot, the local dolphin. Excellent diving.

The new wreck, Destroyer 356, aka the Keith Tibbetts is a pretty neat site. It has almost no growth on it, so it still looks like a ship. There are places where you can penetrate.
