Divers drift along a steep precipice perforated by small caverns and crevices that shelter macro critters, while pelagic species occasionally cruise past in the open blue.
Vast colonies of giant gorgonian sea fans along the vertical drop
Macro hunting among overhangs and soft coral clusters
Frequent encounters with sea turtles feeding along the reef crest
