Turtle Patch

The best way to see the site is a slow drift over the shallow terraces rather than a deep wall dive. The turtles are so used to divers that they can be approached closely without disturbing them. The reef has staghorn stands, leather corals and table corals with sweetlips, pufferfish, lionfish, morays and anemonefish, and leaf fish can be found with luck. Whitetip sharks and parrotfish schools are also reported. Because it faces east, the wall is best dived in the morning.
