MIKE’S MAZE #2 - At 50 - 55 feet you’ll find the amazing big coral
formations of this extended reef system. Big boulders form great swim
throughs, very colorful because of the variety of sponges. Lots of ma-
rine life here, which includes the chance of reef sharks, eagle rays and
turtles
FISH BOWL - At 60 feet there is a fantastic swim through with lots of
spiny lobsters. Apart from that, a good variety of corals and sponges
with its marine life. Because of its proximity to Big Mama, a good
chance for reef sharks.
PILICAN ROCK - depth 50 ft – reef dive
HEN & CHICK - Hen and Chicks is a small rock island less than
a nautical mile off shore. An exceptionally beautiful miniature, un-
spoiled wall dive. On calm days this site offers a refreshing change
of scenery, with usually excellent visibility. At the shallower parts of
the reef, you will find it covered with colorful elk-horn corals. As you
descend to the depths, you may discover more cool stuff.
MOON HOLE - Beautiful dive site if weather conditions allow. You
need a calm sea to be able to enter the actual ‘moon hole’, a crater
formed by some unknown geological activity. Fantastic dive site with
big coral heads all over, like the elk horn coral. When you’re in the
crater look up and see the waves breaking over you. Maximum depth
is about 60 feet, but the shallowest part is no more than 20 feet.
COW & CALF - depth 52 feet – numerous swim-throughs & gulleys
