Now I wouldn't snorkle or dive there because there's nothing to see, that you can't see in a safer spot and too much chance that someone will break the rules. Plus legal or not I don't want to be that close to the Mount or Doris when they come through at their no wake speed.
1) The Mount and Doris must keep a proper watch: no-wake speed can be 1-MPH.

2) The wind can turn a diving flag so that there is even less to see than a snorkle.

3) That there "is nothing to see" doesn't preclude the unexpected hazard—anywhere.
