2nd Open Water Training Dive
--------------------------------
On top of the reef, large table corals promise already a breath taking dive, with a maximum depth of 17 meters, fields of garden eels stick out their heads of the snow white sandy bottom.
The best part of the reef is around 10 meters of depth with interesting coral blocks at 15 meters. Gobies, hermit crabs, sea stars and sea cucumbers can be discovered on and in the sandy bottom while feather tail worms and blennies can be found in the coral blocks.
The reef is marvelous; the red berry, imposter and flabelliform sponges form a colorful background for the green, blue and light brown colored finger corals. Grey, blue and red damsel fishes are lucky to have this amount and variety of hard corals to regard as their home, to seek protection when the moray eels, scorpion fishes, lion fishes and groupers come for dinner at night.
Big jack fish, turtle, eagle ray, tunas, barracudas and schooling red snappers pass by or stay at the corner at shallow depth.
