Comments:
Fantastic dive site but hard to find even with a GPS. Lots of stag coral
around one big bommie. Known feeding site for Manta Rays with 2 or 3
sited on almost every dive. Quite common to see Reef Sharks as well. Two
large turtles are always on this end of the Island as well and normally
sited on the surface if not during the dive. Can't dive with a Southerly
swell or wind as it is too exposed but great if wind is easterly.

For all these dive sites, we
recommend you gain plenty of local knowledge before diving and where
possible dive with experienced divers who are very familiar with the
sites. This is definitely the best way to enjoy a safe and interesting
