Site details

Angel City is a popular south-coast double-reef dive just north of the Hilma Hooker, named for its abundant angelfish and a coral arch near the mooring. A first reef and a deeper second reef separated by sand run from about 5m to 30m, with tarpon, snapper, angelfish and rays throughout. Easy conditions make it suitable for all levels.
