cistern point
DEPTH: 10-40 FEET (3-12 M)
LEVEL: NOVICE
On the southern end of postcard-perfect Manchioneel
Bay, a rocky point carpeted with life projects out to sea. Cistern Point is
a fabulous shallow dive as well as one of the better snorkeling spots. Swim
leisurely around to the other side looking for the plentiful queen
angelfish, thick schools of sergeant majors and chromis, as well as jacks
and a traveling band of gray snappers. There is a series of shallow craters
on the far side that are interesting to explore. On top of the ridge there
are schools of blue tang, goatfishes, beautiful anemones and active cleaning
stations. During the late spring and early summer months, schools of tiny
silvery fry congregate in the shallows and massive shiny tarpon cut through
the schools, grabbing mouthfuls of the little fish. |
