It's particularly famous for its resident green sea turtles, which can be observed resting in the numerous overhangs and crevices along the wall. Divers may also encounter sleepy turtles, napoleon wrasse, eagle rays gliding through the blue, and occasionally sharks or even dolphins if conditions are favorable.
