Divers drift along coral patches populated by reef fish and benthic critters, with sea turtles regularly browsing the shallower coral heads. The site offers relaxed conditions suitable for wide-angle reef scenery as well as macro searching.
Gently sloping reef adorned with sea fans, barrel sponges, and branching hard corals
Frequent encounters with green sea turtles feeding along the upper reef crest
Macro critters hiding among coral heads and rubble patches, including diverse nudibranch species
