by snappersnatcher, Great first ocean dive
I did this dive on 4/26/08 along with The Nursery. I thought it was a great first dive. It was shallow & had good coral displays (fans, vases & tubes etc)& marine life. I enjoyed it.

by BubbleBlower, Great little wreck
Very similar to Sea Emperor up north. The framing is an awesome place for schooling fish, made the dive great! Saw one large barracuda, it was content to just hang near the divers. It is able to be penetrated and you can see through it from one side...

by deepstops, Tenneco Towers is better as a night dive.
The abundance of orange buttercup corals make this spot spectacular at night.
