This dive site is famous for its five prominent coral ridges that extend out from the reef, resembling fingers separated by sandy channels. These structures create a stunning underwater landscape and provide a habitat for a high density of reef fish and invertebrates. It's a classic representation of the inner Ningaloo Reef's beauty and biodiversity.
