Fantastic dive site. Descended upon coral plateau teeming with fish. Turned around reef, then ended on a sheer wall for ~20 minutes. Saw LARGE turtle + white tip reef shark at safety. Shipwreck broken down on top of coral near site is impressive sight. |

Very impressive wall drift dive. Several caverns in coral. LARGE green moray swam right by and into a deep cavern recess. Really impressive. Huge schools of small basslets (goldfish-looking fish) |

Night dive, I think the spot is the same as 'Tower'. 2 free-swimming blue moray eels, free-swimming lionfish, slate-pencil urchins. OK dive. |
