This site on either side of a port begins with short sandy flats before dropping into deep, sweeping walls. Currents can be very strong, including down-currents, and frequent passing boats mean divers need solid buoyancy control, especially in the shallower areas. Seagrass and corals provide habitat for turtles along with squid and octopus, and marbled pike eels are found where tidal influence is strongest.
