7-Mile

Maximum depth: 23 m.

We normally drop in on Northern Wall, where there are beautiful structures of sand stone with corals and sponges growing all over. Huge shoals of Bluebanded Snappers and Goatfish are there to greet us. This area is a favourite hunting ground of the Trumpet Fish, and all his different hunting techniques are observed (see sea creature feature J )

A slow drift along the edge of the wall leads onto the Amphitheatre. Gorgeous Plate- and Table- Corals dominate the reefscape. Small fellows like the Golden Moray, are occasionally observed hiding there. Continuing with the slow drift we then arrive at Lionfish Cave, named after the Devil Firefish (or Lionfish) that often hide inside there. Occasionally a turtle will be found sleeping in this cave as well. At this stage we often say farewell to those divers who’s air has not lasted, and continue our drift through to Mushroom Rocks, which are huge sandstone structures rising from the bottom of 22 m to 15 m. These rocks get the name because of their shape. They have beautiful corals, particularly the soft corals, and are surrounded by Goldies and other small fish.
