This dive site is clearly marked by a large rock with “No Light House”. Dropping down the wall to 27 meters (89-ft) places us at the entrance to a 17-meter (56-ft) tunnel that goes right through the Centre. A black coral bush marks the entrance and usually emperor angelfish cruises here. Swimming through the tunnel we exit at 30 meters (99-ft) on a sand bed where often barracuda can be sighted. Swimming back around the rock one comes on a sand bed covered with garden eels gently waving back and forth in the surge. When you try to get closer the front row sucks down into the sand, returning as one moves away. The wall is covered with purple soft corals, continuing to a ridge that connects the rock to the main island; large boulders are home for grouper and a good stand of gorgonians on the side of the ledge. Below the lip of the ledge is very little current, but over the top it is “Good Bye Charlie” when the tide is right.
