Best time to go to the Grotto is during the week then you will get to really enjoy the beauty of the dive... Be ready with a sense of humor as Ed has one and 'cleared' the Grotto for us on Saturday... Thanks for a great time, again! Look forward to many more trips...

There are training platforms where you usually find several Open Water classes going on, there is a large cavern/basin area, and a short cave tube/chute with a guideline.
