[edit]

This is an awesome dive site that is rarely visited in a current because of its size and depth. But it is a stunning inverted ‘V' shaped reef that promises sightings of resident Leopard and White and Black Tip reef sharks. Sometimes we've even seen Tiger Sharks here. We drop onto the west wall that rises about 10m from the sand and the top of the wall is at 23m. As we swim around and along the edge, we have to swim through multitudes of reef fish that seem completely oblivious to our presence and let you get quite close, which is a lovely experience, fish looking you in the eye right next to your mask! There are also two big caves gouged out of the wall and in one of these caves, a resident Loggerhead Turtle lives and in the other, the Sharks are likely to be found. We've also seen Green Turtles and encountered Giant Manta's with wingspans of over 7m! And on our ascent Devil and Eagle rays as well as lots of pelagic fish swim by us. We often ‘Double tank' this site because of the likelihood of seeing Whales in season and because its so good!

General info: Because of its size we rarely dive this site in a very strong current. And because of its depth and the need for a rapid descent we like all divers to be experienced in deep diving and negative entry procedures.
