Heron’s Wall

★★★★☆ (6)

A recent discovery by female SSI Instructor, Euna Zio, the story goes there were Heron’s flying around (we believe her!).... Hard and soft corals to die for in the shallows. You can spot eagle rays and sharks in the blue. Stunning photo opportunities in the shallows!

Often a pelagic delight, sharks and ray’s coupled with schooling jacks and cuda’s. And then there is the stunning hard and soft corals in the shallows!
