While Santa Rosa wall is beautiful. It is a dive for experienced divers. The down currents can be treacherous at times. If you do not have enough experience and an excellent dive partner DO NOT attempt this dive. Know your dive shop. Some will abort the dive if the currents are strong, others will still take you down and just... More

Santa Rosa Wall is a must see and do for all scuba divers. The reef is 60-80 feet down, which instantly drops off to a 400 ft wall. Looking into the abyss is absolutely amazing! More

This reef has a plethora of marine life, as you would suspect, but one of its coolest features is a large number of swim-throughs. You'll need to be an advanced diver to do them since they exceed the depth restriction for open water divers, however. The turtles apparently like using the tunnels, and we saw them eating or being cleaned... More
