Quiet rocky site with gorgonians and pelagic visitors.
Quiet rocky site with gorgonians and pelagic visitors.
grimaldi 2 is a rocky marine site with many crevices and shelters that holds more life than the busier nearby Grimaldi 1. Gorgonians give the rock face color, while groupers, barracudas, and seasonal ocean sunfish make the site feel like a quieter pelagic-and-reef mix rather than a pure wall or wreck. It suits divers who want to slow down, work the rocky recesses, and watch the blue for bigger visitors.
