Entry / access
boat

The islet is under 100 m across, with a narrow shallow reef running round it and a wall that drops past 40 m on the north and west sides. Ledges and overhangs hide frogfish, sea snakes and morays, and the Cathedral, a funnel-shaped opening in the northwest, is the best-known feature. Most dives go out along the wall around 20 m and come back shallower.
