Next to Current View Point
is a slope covered with sea
grass and corals going down
to 70 ft. (21m). This is an
excellent site for underwater
photographers as it has a
great variety of rare marine
life. Several kinds of
scorpionfish, different ghost
pipefish, pegasus, stargazers,
crocodile snake-eels, sea
snakes, many different kinds

of shrimp and crabs and the

fascinating “disco” file shell are all

regularly sighted. This very

productive site, which also has

some big elephant ear sponges, is a

great night dive spot as well.

90) Fallen Tree

Location: W Cabilao

Depth: 15-140 ft. (4-40m)

Yep, there’s a fallen tree on the

shore here. This dive is along a

gradual slope from the shore to 55

ft. (16m) and then a steep wall

which slopes down deep. There can

be a gentle current feeding the soft

corals and that makes this a great

drift dive. Off the wall and into the

blue look for schools of large

blackbar barracuda or cruising sea

turtles. All along the site, frogfish

and nudibranchs are to be found
