About this site
The eastern flank of Daedalus, directly below the historic 19th-century iron lighthouse, is the most sheltered and least dived side, featuring a healthy reef slope of hard corals descending to a sandy shelf. It offers relaxed diving with turtles, schooling fusiliers and snapper, and serves as an ideal check or second dive. The reef top here is a riot of fire coral, table corals and reef fish.
