Depth: 0-30m
Current: Moderate
Experience: Beginner
Dive starts on the beautiful bay where there is big coral bommies on a sandy flat bottom at 5 to 10m of depth. Moving along the bottom changes to a sloping wall down to 20-30 meters.
Huge numbers of Snappers, Fusiliers and Yellowtail Barracudas are seen on this wall, which is mostly Stag horn coral. At the end of the dive lots of Lionfish and some Scorpion fish creating an interesting safety stop.
In the shallow area, look in the sand for sea moths that have been frequent visitors here for many years.
Moorish idols, butterfly fish and sea snakes can be seen in the bay area and down the reef, with many moray eels and octopus hiding in the rock formations.
As you head south you will see large rock formations, which go down into stag horn corals and sandy bottoms. Look for the many porcupine and puffer fish along the reef.
Part way down the reef you will find many anemones with different clown fish and porcelain crabs hiding among them.
At the right time of year you can also find juvenile harlequin sweetlips making their distinctive dance near the bottom.
