Divers can expect to encounter impressive schools of barracudas, bigeye trevally, bluefin tuna, bluefin trevally, and iconic large fish such as Napoleon wrasse and grey reef sharks. The roots and rock formations also harbor smaller creatures like the elusive giant frogfish, kudagombe, southern pufferfish, and various clownfish.
