★★★★★
(50)
This dive site is clearly marked by the cardinal boating marker on the rock. Anchor in the sheltered inlet on the main island in approx 6m depth. Short swim to the island can be made underwater on NW heading. The reef will drop to the bottom at about 11m and a short gap in the reef to the rock on a sand bottom.
Many swim through and large shoals of fish life, including kingfish. Lots of octopus dens on the sand.
