Description: This dive takes place on a table of coral that begins at a depth of 8 meters and gradually makes its way down to 30 meters. It is a drift dive, that if planned carefully, will allow you to complete a full circuit of the coral table. There is almost every variety of reef fish species at this site, due to the untouched nature of it, including schools of jacks, hundreds of clown fish in a giant anemone, batfish with strange skin pigmentations and electric blue fusiliers. On top of the coral table you may find some nurse sharks resting amidst the soft corals and in a fissure you will find a rare golden yellow gorgonian. Under an overhang, you will find a couple of moray eels staring out at you. On the north-western scarp, you will find a forest of black corals. If you look out into deeper waters you will see barracuda swimming past grey reef sharks and other pelagic fish.
