20 - 30m - This is a surprising and incredible maze of tunnels and caverns created by the ocean’s relentless assault on the lava over thousands of years.
Groupers, porcupine fish, moray eels, torpedo rays and stingrays can all be found here. There is also cave-dwelling fauna such as lobsters and other crustaceans.
