Hazards

  • low · Schooling pelagics

    Barracuda ignore divers if you hold still in the blue.

  • moderate · Depth on the wall

    The wall side drops through 25–30 m. Agree a turn depth; the school will still be there in the blue at 18–22 m.

Marine life

Typical: chevron barracuda, wall coral, turtle

Seasonal: tornado schooling in current
