About this dive site
This dive site is located approximately 20 minutes south of Anemone and Coral Gardens, near Shark Island. This prominent rock formation offers two distinct diving experiences: a sheltered bay with abundant hard coral coverage spanning around 200 meters, or a challenging wall comprised of large granite boulders extending for 250 meters. The wall features near-shore hard corals and is known to host large Black Tip Sharks, along with Honeycomb Morays and Turtles. Following the rock outcropping from the wall leads to pristine Table Corals, some reaching a span of at least 2 meters, providing a habitat for a diverse array of tropical Indian Ocean marine life. The area teems with shoaling fish, including Cornet Fish, Trevally, Mackerel, Fusiliers, Sergeant Majors, and Damselfish. Visibility is generally good in both locations.
