Following the reef wall you will find an Eel garden and often many Angel Sharks (Nov-March). The reef turns a corner where it opens into some stunning rock formations with a swim through at 16 meters to 8 meters. We also placed our Christmas Tree here in December 2009.

Sitting on the sand we are able to feed the many rays that are resident here. The atlantic rays come up and say hello as well as all the common rays, huge barracuda, trumpet fish, zebra bream, wrasse plus a massive ball of Roncadores.
