The dive starts on a sloping wall best done in 15-18 metres. The wall has many cracks forming small overhanging ledges, About 30 mins into the dive there is a chimney for those wanting moody shots with rays of light bouncing off the cliff wall, this is a great photo opportunity. The corner is a plateau and here we often see more of a current, as the current brings in more nutrients to the water, the corner is a lively reef, here we are more likely to catch a glimpse of larger animals.
