Travel Time: Boat trip: 47 minutes
Description:

Located just south of Shaira. This shallow dive is perfect as the afternoon or third dive. As divers descend they will notice a huge, untouched cabbage coral at 8 m on a shallow wall. Crossing a small sandy area a plateau of hard coral stretches to meet a satellite reef which raises up to 5 m, some distance from the shore. A large school of yellow tail barracuda can be seen here hovering over the soft corals of the satellite reef. Turing back around the far side of the reef and crossing mid water creates a beautiful scenery from above and reaching the reef table one is confronted by a huge mountain and massive corals. Three secret pools can be found at the end of this dive, each hidden from the next by saddles of hard corals where puffers and blue spotted rays can be found resting.
