DIVE BRIEF: Moon Hole is a sandy semi-circular site (12 metres) surrounded by stoney coral formations. Don't miss this chance to check out the variety of sand dwelling creatures living here, from the Flounder to the Sea Horse. This site is ideal for night dives due to the many crustaceans living on its walls. It is also perfect for navigation and buoyancy training dives.
Ron's Wreck is a small boat sunk at 15 metres where a diver can observe more than 10 years of coral and encrusted sponge growth. Ron Hole found between the aforementioned two sites has various sand patches at different depths surrounded by Mountainous, Staghorn and Star Coral.
