(168)
Mixture of boulder and sandy patches at this consistently shallow site. The depth at the back of the bay is an easy 5-10m. The bay plateaus at around 10-15m for about 500m out from the wall. Around the wall at the back of the bay are a number of cracks and archways to go exploring in. Shark fin cave is beauty!
Schools of snapper, moki, porae, triple fins, blennies, wrasses, pigfish, eels, rays, kingfish, trevally, goatfish, leatherjacket, maomao, scorpionfish, angelfish, nudis, flatworms etc
