Just across from the sleepy fishing village of Sinandigan on the way into Varadero Bay lie several slumbering giants. Over the centuries huge boulders have peeled away from the cliff face and have laid to rest at its base. The upper surfaces of these boulders are bathed in sunlight and blankets of soft coral coat the tops of them all.
Sporadic pockets of tabletop coral and trees of black coral spread to catch the sun’s rays and provide a home for many shrimps, crabs, nudibranchs and small reef fishes. Under almost every boulder divers can find any number of exotic creatures hiding and a series of small caves make this dive site very interesting.
The Ribbon Eel can sometimes be found in the largest cave here sharing a home with a school of Copperbellies. Some lucky divers may even spot a large Dusky Grouper before it slopes off into one of the many holes in the reef at this site. Green Sea Turtles often pay a visit and occasionally, larger rays are spotted here too. Schools of Fusiliers can be found swimming amongst the safety of some of the smaller boulders and a resident school of Razor Fish has colonized the top of the largest boulder.
