The Blue pools are part of what is like a natural swimming pool, which gives and easy and relaxing dive. Great fish life, with angelfish being very common - the opportunitis for photography are excelent; also batfish, lionfish, gropers and coral trout. Loved it and just wish I was back there now and not stuck in my office!
