sponges, you’ll find yourself in an
area with several crevasses (the
canyons) that are cleft into the wall.
These afford some respite from the
usually raging current.
Expect to see large schools of
trevallies, snappers, sweetlips,
barracuda and sometimes whitetip
sharks. Lionfish, surgeonfish and
lined angelfish are also often
present. There’s lots going on as the
currents always seem to make the
ocean creatures come alive.
The usual end point of this dive is
a large anchor embedded in the
reef. Open ocean deco is the
norm. Follow a guide, use a safety
sausage and look out for boat
traffic as it is a main shipping lane.

Location: SW of Escarceo Point
Depth: 10-130 ft. (3-40 m)
This is an interesting dive with
two walls, a wide variety of marine
life from tiny nudibranchs to the
occasional pelagic and some
shallow end-of-dive swim-throughs
that make great photos.
Start by entering at about 15 ft.
(5m) and then slowly head down
the reef slope. There is an
interesting little coral valley that
leads to the first wall in about 45 ft.
(13m) of water. This dive has some
nice wide angle possibilities but is
famous for its nudibranch diversity.
There are lots of Chromodoris,
Nembrotha, Glossodoris,
Hyselodoris, Flabellina and
flatworms and lots more.
The second wall is about 45 ft.
(13m) deep up to 20 (6m) or so.
There are snapper schools and
yellow damsels, yellow sea
cucumbers and lots of anemones.
The cliffs fall right into the sea with
big boulders and swim-throughs.
