Additional Information

The pinnacles, large amphitheatres and caves and tunnels make for very exciting diving. Expect to see many varieties of gamefish; steenbras, musselcracker, Romans and the beautiful parrotfish being one of them. Ragged tooth sharks are also pretty common and a highlight to any dive.
