Front porch is located at the sandy beach of the Eden BEach resort, it is not knownfor its coral reefs but for its old pieces of metal: steel pipes, wreck parts. It attracts a wide variety of marine life: Trumpet fish, trunk fish, scorpion fish, school of horse eye jacks, soap fish, large groupers, moray eels and much more. There's a wreck here as well. It's a ten-meter tugboat at 24-28 meters, on the rightside of the beach. The tug lies upside down with the bow northwards. The shallows in front of the beach is a nursery for new elk horns, which are grown in the nursery of the dive center.

I'd have to give Front Porch a nope. (Open water diver with 50 dives) Perhaps it was a tidal thing, maybe the planets aligned wrong, but when we entered the water, there was a strong north to south current. We dropped and started swimming against the current and down to depth, we found that we were 60 feet and going down with very difficult current to fight against. We saw one wreck (an upside down hull) and decided to surface. It was my shortest dive ever at 4 minutes! I had made it about 40 feet against the current and consumed 600 psi. Sorry Front Porch - maybe another time!
