This dive site, Ship's Stern, offers a gentle drift along a vibrant, sloping reef that gradually meets the sand at approximately 15 meters. Divers can navigate by following the reef's contour, exploring its many nooks and crannies. While no specific history is provided, its name might hint at a past encounter or observation.
The reef teems with marine life, including spiny lobster, spanish lobster, and spotted moray hiding in the crevices. Schools of french grunts and brown chromis swirl around iridescent vase corals and sponges. Divers can also spot solo blue tangs, cowfish, trunkfish, and porcupinefish swimming over the corals. The landscape is further enhanced by whip coral and gorgonian forests.
This site is enjoyable year-round, offering consistent beauty. It's particularly ideal for macro photographers seeking intricate subjects and for beginner divers due to its mild currents and manageable depths. Freedivers will also find the shallow, colourful reef excellent for extended bottom times and exploration.
