Honeycomb. A deep wall dive covered with soft corals, gorgonian seafans, sponges and crinoids. Napoleon wrasse can be seen here as can long nose emperors and schools of triggerfish. There is a tunnel 15m and a cavern at 20m that is home to scorpionfish, lionfish, moray eels and much more.
Traffic Jam is another very fishy wall dive. Healthy soft and hard corals plus sponges and seafans are home to masses of juvenile fish as well as nudibranchs and crustaceans. This is a good place to spot the tiny Coleman's coral shrimp.
Japanese Cargo Wreck. Sank in 1942 after catching fire and then hitting the reef when the captain tried to run her aground. The 50 metre long wreck now lies in 47m of water with the propeller at the stern the shallowest part in 25m. The wreck is covered with encrusting sponge, seawhips and seafans. Grouper, scorpionfish and lionfish have all made their home on the wreck. On the sloping reef there is more scattered wreck debris plus patches of hard coral and anemones with their resident anemone fish. Reef fish include wrasse, sweetlips, cardinalfish and fusliers. |
