Dominant features
A series of gentle terraces with many niches, crevices and coral outcroppings which drops gradually to a coral plateau. Often used for night diving when the seas are calm. The gentle slope also helps to make it easy to maintain a safe, shallow depth for an afternoon dive.
Corals
Good underwater landscape with large mushroom coral heads & bommies to swim around. Excellent selection of hard corals and lots of nocturnal Crinoids.
Fish Life
Many small reef fish in the shallower depths. Deeper you may see Sharks, Turtles and the occasional Spotted Eagle Ray. At night, lots of Mortfish, Stone Fish, sleeping Parrotfish and occasional Lobsters.
