Mushroom Forest
Over centuries the coral heads have grown into a maze of caps, crevices and hollows. Most life gathers around 12 to 14 m, where giant moray eels, porcupinefish, barracudas and lobsters hide under the mushrooms. The terrain is disorienting, so a compass helps. High cliffs shelter the area, and the nearby Blue Room is a favourite second stop.
