Description

At eighteen metres the kelp forest meets the reef and drops down to thirty three metres. The wall is of solid clean rock and terminates on a bed of sand. Along its full length (about half a mile) one can find lobster, crawfish, sea cucumber, blue shark and plenty of dog fish. Edible sea urchin and spiny star fish are in abundance. The reef itself is lit up by the different varieties of sponge, anemones and soft coral and on the sandy bottom electric ray and monk fish are often seen.
