Named after a lady that used to sun bathe on the beach here, the boat skippers used to wave to her so they named the site after her, it is the most southerly of the local dive sites.
The dive starts normally on the mooring and becomes a semi drift. There is a resident white tip reef shark in the area but to see it you need to stay shallow on the dive for about 10 - 15 minutes to get to the point where it lives. The shark lives in about 28 metres of water and circles off the reef, as they are so good at hearing no doubt the shark will know you are coming way before you see it, if you stay in the area the shark often doubles back to take a look. If no one chases then the shark normally stays in the area.
Another great dive at this dive site is to swim out to the southern corner where the reef juts out, in about 26 metres you can find a huge group of red sea banner fish and red tooth triggers all grouping together over the reef. on the way back there is a big fan coral with glass fish swarming around it.
Alternatively do the dive in shallow water and circle the huge pinnacles that raise up to the surface, there are many fish to find in this area.
