The reef wall descends to 6-8 metres on to a sandy sloping bottom that gradually drops away to 18 metres at the drop off, following the edge of the drop off with the reef on the left there is a glassfish pinnacle between 10 and 16 metres. This pinnacle was featured on a British children’s wildlife program where a challenge was given to get your teeth cleaned underwater, if you dare, take out your regulator and see if the cleaner wrasse will clean yours. At the turning point of the dive there are 3 pinnacles in a row, the last one is also swarmed by glassfish, look carefully within the glassfish as often baby barracuda are hiding amongst them, lionfish hang around ready for lunchtime. Just behind this pinnacle in about 6 metres is part of an amphoras believed to have come from a ship wreck 400 years ago that sank farther up the coast. Hunt around for stone fish on the journey back to the boat as there are a few in the area.
