The site's currents are a notable feature, often allowing for flexible dive plans, enabling divers to explore the reef in either direction as a drift.

The marine life at New Moon is vibrant and diverse, making it appealing for both wide-angle and macro enthusiasts. Large pelagic species such as great barracudas are frequently seen circling divers, while stingrays can sometimes be found resting on the sandy bottom. Queen triggerfish are abundant, adding splashes of color to the reef. For those with an eye for the smaller things, the site is also noted for its interesting critter population, suggesting good opportunities for macro photography.
New Moon is a dive site that can be enjoyed year-round, though calmer conditions are generally found outside the hurricane season (June-November). Divers should be prepared for variable currents, which contribute to the dynamic nature of the dive but require awareness. Its mix of reef and wall topography, coupled with varied marine encounters, makes it a rewarding experience for those comfortable with intermediate diving conditions and slight depths.
