The lagoon is a white sandy bottom to around 8m, with beautiful coral bommies in the shallow area with lots of reef fish and sweetlips and snappers. The sand slopes down to around 30m, sometimes you can even find seahorses here. Out to the left there is a wall to around 25m covered in featherstars and a good place to see cuttlefish and sometimes you may find juvenile batfish and sweetlips hiding in the crevices. To the right is a colourful top reef with hard corals which are a great nursery for various juvenile reef fish. The sandy slope can also be great for finding critters.

This is a good place to keep an eye out for critters and cuttlefish and stingrays. The sandy slope becomes a reef the further you go around with some huge coral bommies. Look out for ribbon eels and some leaf fish hiding around the bommies. Don’t forget to look under the large table corals, you may find juvenile sharks.
