Current

Moderate, sometimes strong current, particulary at the pointed end of the reef as the current can make you drift away from the boulders. The current flows from the southwest to the northeast towards high tide and north to south towards low tide.

Marine Life

Black and White Snappers, Groupers, Travellys and Barracudas are often seen here as well as oriental Sweetlips and Harlequin Sweetlips. Kuhl's Stingrays and Turtles are here too.
