We are planning to dive Candyland tomorrow AM. I drove there to check out the entry, following instructions in BSDME, and local advice, but the entry point is not obvious to me from shore. I do not see a truck tire there though there is what looks like an old truck inner tube wrapped around some driftwood. My plan is to look with mask and snorkel before gearing up, but any advice would be appreciated!

There is a small parking area in front of the salina just as you make the turn past bopec . Park there and head to the water , there should be remnants of a trail . You will see an opening between two large brain corals , thats the best entry . Its a great dive , my favorite . enjoy!

Thanks. Lloyd. We did the dive this morning, easy entry and exit, the 2 brain corals were at the entry channel as you said. Beautiful, dramatic hard coral formations on this dive below 30', can only imagine what the shallows looked like pre-Lenny.
