About this site
An isolated oval plateau reef rising from deep offshore water, its reef top just below the surface and its flanks dropping as sheer coral walls past 100 m. Divers work the eastern and southern plateaus and the northwest overhangs, typically to a recommended maximum of about 30 m. Grey reef sharks, manta rays and large pelagics patrol the current-swept walls.
