Visibility at the Admiral is generally excellent and dives are treated to assortments of; tarpon, angelfish, grunts and groupers and many more exotic species in the area. At just over 100 feet you are presented with immense blooms of black coral which continue down for around 20 feet. The Admirals dive wall has a beautiful bright blue backdrop and whale sharks are frequently seen skulking around the reef.
