You must bring a flag and they don't allow scuba in the swim area in front of the lifeguard stand. If you go off the beach and to the east you can dive the little bridge, or you can dive to the west of the beach around the pylons under the larger portion. You can also go east an west around the anchored boats and find a couple little ones that have sunk. You are going to want to get in about an hour before high tide to get the most out of the slack tide. You can dive either East or West of the Park.  Do not enter the boat lanes!

As you go east on Blue Heron Blvd., you will go over the bridge and Phil Foster Park will be on your left. As you turn in stay to the left and you will park near the bridge. You will set up in the parking lot and go off the beach. Night diving is only permitted by boat, you cannot cross the beach after dark.

Blue Heron Bridge is also known as Phil Foster Park.

Blue Heron Bridge

Great site!  Perfect conditions for beginner divers and a great place for all other divers! Tons of critters!  If you're in a bare spot....Wait a minute something will be along within a few minutes!  But,  Beware on accommodations, Admirals'Cove - Was the perfect place to stay.... Set up reservations 6 months ago.  Repeatedly sent re-confirmation and requests for info 3 weeks in advance of leaving...Finally received an email an hour before I flew out, that the resort had been sold.  Luckily Hilton saved the day w/ super discounted prices.....
