Situated on the northern side of the main Vatulele passage, the topography of this site is very different from most other sites in the area. Large cuts in the reef form sand gullies spilling off the reef in to the blue. In the walls of these gullies are several overhangs where giant turtles and white tip reef sharks rest. Large porcupine fish, scrawled file fish and orange lined trigger fish are often spotted swimming over the sand banks while dog tooth and yellow fin tuna glide by in the open water. As you get closer to the passage schools of flagtail snapper, giant sweetlips and barracuda can be seen. Even though this site is known for its big sealife, the little things are not left out.
