A pinnacled shelf from 18-40m/60-130ft rolls off into a steep, in places overhanging, wall. Good fish life exists, particularly in the 45-60m/150-200ft range, with schools of surgeons and fusiliers in evidence, and reef sharks and hawksbill turtles common. Several kinds of Sweetlips cluster around the caves and crevices that pock the wall at all depths.
Large gorgonians and whip corals make the middle parts of the wall very picturesque, and depending on where a diver has drifted to, the shallower areas provide a lively place to decompress. Current is normally strong on top of the wall, very mild at depth. |
