Re-audit note (2026-07-17): Actively searched today for independent sources beyond scubaweather.com, including Dive Exuma’s own site (dive-exuma.com — no named site list found), thescubadirectory.com’s Great Exuma directory (lists 8+ named sites — Elizabeth Reef, Amberjack Reef, The Tug, Jeep Reef, Mystery Cave, Dog Rocks, Austin Smith Wreck, Barracuda Shoals — but no “Connected Dott” profile found among them), and general web search for the exact site name. No additional independent source with descriptive content was found. Also confirmed today that scubaweather.com itself is a conditions/forecast aggregator (visibility, water temp, current, wave height) with no descriptive text about depth, marine life, or site type — meaning even the one existing citation does not actually support the depth/marine-life claims below beyond the visibility figure. Recommendation: validated should remain false.
