Since the conditions were so good the day before at the cove, I went back the next day for a scuba dive. This time I went south a bit to South Casa Cove. This area can be very difficult to dive in full scuba gear, or on a day like today, real easy. The dive is shallow, at about 100 yards off shore you are in 30 feet or water. to get there however you have to swim through a few sand channels in between shallow reefs of 2-3 feet of water. A good write-up of the site can be found here:
