Extensive
coral formations cover a steep through shallow slope from 5m (16ft) to
18m (60ft). Currents can be fierce, so the choice of slack water and preferably
neap tides is essential
The coral is teeming with marine life and often has very good visibility.
All the expected smaller reef fish are to be seen and, when the currents
are running, shoals of pelagic fish are common. This dive is known for
its very large Spanish Dancer nudibranchs. |
