Hanging Gardens

The wall starts just below the surface and steps down in terraces before plunging into the abyss, with pastel soft corals spilling from one level to the next. The fans and soft corals hide small life, while crevices hold sweetlips, hawkfish, emperor angelfish, morays and groupers. Green and hawksbill turtles are common, and ribbontail stingrays can be seen in numbers. Looking into the blue may reveal grey reef sharks, schools of scalloped hammerheads and, rarely, thresher sharks. Like the other west-side walls it is dived as a drift, best in the afternoon when the sun lights the wall.
