(354)
This dive site has a minimum diving qualification of Advanced Open Water diver as the maximum depth is 27m and is only accessible by boat. Due to its depth, it is not suitable for beginner divers.
There is plenty to see along the reef wall, ranging from exciting macro species (including cuttlefish, nudibranchs, and the rare Hawaiian red lobster) to larger animals.
