Availability: When conditions allow: March/May Oct/Nov
Range: Long range dive
Suitability: Experienced divers 
Depths: > 25 mtr.  
Bottom:  Granite reef with hard coral formations 
Several miles offshore, this is an area of three large submerged granite reefs made up of steeply walled massifs, deep gullies and large boulders which form a maze of swim-throughs and small caves. These in turn host an impressive number of large reef fish and resident schools of Black Snappers. The site suffers occasionally from current but attracts schooling Pelagics, Barracuda, Stingrays, Hawksbill turtles and Reef sharks. Whale Sharks are also present in the right season.
