Swam to pinnacle in south eastern corner. Into cavern at 9m. Swam around "room" anticlockwise and put through eastern entrance. 10m further was entrance to smaller cavern. Swam around this one anticlockwise too. Both were full of squirrel fish.
Once out of cavern we dropped to 15m and continued clockwise around reef. Fantastic coral heads that merged into one another. Lots of the usual reef fish plus a few predators.
Reached the three pinnacles on the north side and decided to continue around reef. On west side there were more large pinnacles each with its own colony of fish.
On south east corner there was a boat messing about on surface. Very noisy. Fish didn't seem to care. As we round corner 8-10bat fish cruised by.
On 80bar so went through first cavern again. As we came outside a large tuna swam by.
3@6 on reef wall then swan to boat. Another great dive on this site.
