Description

The wall runs east-west and here the sharks will in a cave / overhang in the wall. The cave is at 15 metres and extends for about 20 metres. Once you have found the cave swim towards it and stop about 5 metres in front of the cave. There is nothing more you need to do, just watch these beautiful animals cruise around. They move from inside the cave to the outside and sometimes they swim away from the cave on short jaunts.

Visibility usually 5 - 20 metres, it is usually the larger swells that make the dive site not suitable for diving.

The sharks are accompanied by enormous schools of yellowtail as well as suckerfish (remoras) and pilot fish of many different species. The grey nurse sharks that come to the cave are often only female. None of them are huge, but a couple are getting on in size. On average there are between 10 and 15 sharks per dive.
