Swim around and through the
various formations looking at
crinoids, rope sponges and sea
anemones. These coral formations
are great habitat for smaller fish.
The variation in coral species by


depths here is also
interesting to see.
Near the sandy area on
the north is a pile of used
tires that serves now as an
artificial reef. Check the
mouths of the
cardinalfishes for eggs.
There are also other
juvenile fishes like
sweetlips here. There is
also some sea grass that
holds some interesting
small creatures. You may
see some razorfish flitting
around. Because there is
not much current present
in this area, it is an ideal
site for Open Water divers, refresher
courses and for orientation dives.
