Coral Cove (Intermediate)

Often underrated this site is one of the best macro photography sites on the map. I like to dive this site on the second or third dive of the day when the sun is high in the sky and brings out all the colours in the soft corals. Divers can observe many small reef fishes along the ridges in the reef at this site. The most beautiful part of this dive site is between 20 and 23 meters where a few large boulders rest and are home to many soft corals, crinoids and schools of reef fish.

Occasionally, Cuttlefish and Banded Sea Kraits are seen here as well as many types of Trigger Fish - Red Toothed, Clown, Picasso, Queen and Titan too. The site is often visited by larger pelagics such as Giant Trevally, Eagle Rays and Turtles.

There are also a few Gorgonian Fans in the area where Pygmy Sea Horses can be found. Buried in the gravel are often Blue Spotted Rays so keep an eye out for the tell tale signs, black and white bands around the tail or the outline of the ray in the fine gravel or sand.
