Description
While there are no canyons, there are small ridges and valleys throughout this dive site. Coral cover is variable with some areas of dead reef and bare rock to places with dramatic corals competing to outgrow one another. There is a large sand flat on the south side of the site with small rock outcrops near the main reef.
Sea Life
Spotted boxfish, Potter’s and Flame angelfish, Saddle wrasse, Partridge Tun snails, Slipper Lobster, Zebra Morays, Horned Helmet Snails, Heart urchins, Collector urchins, and numerous butterflyfish are all common. With its proximity to Koko Craters, this site regularly has Green turtles cruise by. This site has very variable visibility.
