Canons

★★★★☆ (27)

Easy afternoon dive site after a relaxing lunch on Direction Island. Kat our resident dugong is sighted regularly here. Also a favourite location for dolphins and mantas entering or leaving the lagoon.

Garden eels, and during summer months favorite nesting site for giant trigger fish. Fine sand under ledges can be the home for white cap partner gobies.
