The reef shelf is only 2 meters deep and is excellent for snorkelers. The wall is filled with crevasses and caves which provide a place for juvenile sweetlips, batfish and anglefish. A torch reveals a wonderful collection of small and large creatures. Octopuses with their seemingly intelligent eyes, cleaners shrimps and moray eels can be seen busy in their underwater city. Turtles pay visits to feed on the shells and other tasty morsels. Squids often feed in the late afternoon and grey and white tip sharks pop in for a snack. It is a good place for a drift dive as there is something interesting at every level.
