The shallows are packed with white bar surgeonfish, filefish, yellow tang, raccoon and butterflyfish. Larger critters like eagle rays and dolphin call this site home. And the occasional tiger shark is seen cruising through in the afternoons from June to September.
This bustling site is affectionately nicknamed, “Ripoff Reef” for it’s close proximity to the harbor the dive boats leave out of.
