Photos: Rather than on the cliff edges of the island like the first two dives, this was on the dropoff on the island ‘base’. A deeper wall-like dive loaded with soft and whip corals.

Conditions: Good

Visibilty: 15m

Water Temp: ??c

Bottom Time: 70minutes

Max Depth: 20m

Details: This was an epic dive site..the best reef dive of the trip. A small island dropped off sharply into the water and swimming along the underwater cliffs produced pinnacles covered in soft corals. Massive barrell sponges, hard corals and anemones provided great colour and textures along the bottom. Between two of the smaller islands a large temple-like structure stood in the distance and had a magnetic attraction to it.. the current was much stronger than its magnetism so it remains mysterious…
