Predatory bluefin jacks harry the perimeter picking off anchovies, while the larger giant trevallies sortie amongst the fusiliers. If you turn your gaze away from the surrounding fish, train it along the slope is a terraced garden of table corals festooned with cotton-candy tufts of soft corals attracting sweetlips, angels, & groupers to be cleaned. Wobbegong sharks have also been known to lurk hereabouts under the ledges. Open to the elements and regularly swept by swift currents, it’s not always possible to dive here – but if possible; it is bucket-list divesite.
