4th Open Water Training Dive
--------------------------------
Stunning hard corals from top to bottom (18 meters) in a amazing variety; ‘undate’ hard corals cluster together with lattice, neat, nosey, Samoan, cylinder, Evermanns and flame corals, they are pushing away the sluk-like, scuted and common mushroom corals ,leaving barely space for sponges, long pipe and mushroom leather corals.
Pink bulb tentacle anemone corals host the Clark’s anemone fish at large while blue sea, granulated and noduled Sea Stars feed on the polyps of the corals, algae’s, and worms. In turn, they are preyed upon by trigger fishes, trochus shells and crustacians.
The reef is ideal for beginners and experienced diver who prefer colorful reef fishes at a shallower depth.
The reef lingers on with small sandy sloping patches in between the hard coral formations, which are present in a variety of shape and structure.
