A sloping reef side lands on a sandy slope, littered with coral blocks, and eventually drops off to great depths. Further north , the shelf narrows to a ledge that eventually gives way to a vertical wall.
Giant moray eels are often seen roaming freely across the shelf and eagle rays sometimes pass by. On the reef slope you might find an octopus or squid. Countless anemones protect families of clownfish all over the plateau. Large predators are known to come here, but don’t count on an encounter with sharks.
