Kingfish and Galapagos sharks make this a thrilling dive site!

Description

Stunning clear water with a few corals and little algae make with loads of inquisitive Galapagos sharks and kingfish make this a unique and impressive site. A great mix of temperate (demoiselle armies, clouds of blue maomao, dragon moray, trumpetfish and northern kahawai) and tropical species (crown of thorns starfish, striped boarfish, lionfish, lord howe coralfish and toadstool grouper), a good few enedmics too like the Kermadec scalyfin, caramel drummer and giant limpets. But most exquisite of all, the behemoths of the reef, the spotted black grouper! Cool pencil urchins, nudibranchs etc. too.
