About this site
Catalog

The western side of Little Brother is the more protected wall, dived when easterly currents are strong, and is renowned as a cleaning station where thresher sharks rise from the depths in the early morning. The reef sweeps gently along soft-coral terraces and overhangs full of glassfish and reef life. Patient divers hanging in the blue are often rewarded with silky shark and pelagic encounters.
