We anchor in 6 metres ontop of the reef, hundreds of wrasse and damsel fish, then drop off the stepped wall down to 16 metres. First swimthrough has lots of trumpetfish and a huge shoal of roncadores closeby. Down the gulleys keep watch for rays or angelsharks. Next into the amphitheatre which huge columns of rock and along into the second swimthrough and back along the top of the reef. This site has depths between 5 metres and 50 metres.
Our famous sting ray dive, we anchor in 18 metres and descend to a sand bottom. The rays then appear out of the blue and are very playful also the turtle occasionally makes an appearance. There is a huge garden of eels. On the site is a small wreck with lots of fishlife, morays, parrotfish, trumpetfish, wrasse, damselfish.
Unique only to this site is 4 arches which appear out of nowhere, we swim under the first two and head towards the large arch at 22 metres. Under the arch is a memorial to Jacque Cousteau, then we head around the reef and through a gap in the wall. There is a small cave with a couple of manmade friends inside! We then swim onto the other memorial which was placed in memory of a diver who used to stroke the moray eels that still live in the area. Possible sightings of rays and angelsharks.
