This dive is so rich in marine life and as diverse in species as diving at Verde Island! Starting in shallow water, the dive site consists of gently sloping sand and gravel areas broken up by ridges or steps that go deeper as the slope stretches further out to sea. A long reef wall of about 3 or 4 meters in height starts in the shallows and heads out towards the Atoll dive site.
The reef on top of the wall is literally teeming with life; schools of Anthias, Surgeon Fish, Angel Fish, Butterfly Fish, Parrot Fish all join the myriad of other species of reef fishes and create a sense of unspoiled serenity on this amazing reef. At around 14m a colony of bright blue and yellow Palette Surgeon Fish (made famous in the 2003 Disney-Pixar Film ‘Finding Nemo’) dance together in courtship rituals just a meter or so above the coral.
Moray Eels are very common here, and you will find one or two under most Tabletops, coral heads or Basket Sponges. Sometimes there are often more than one and possibly different species hiding in the same place. Frog Fish and Banded Sea Kraits, Green Sea Turtles and Octopus can often be found at this site too.
