Depth: 0-30 M
Difficulty: Intermediate
Type: Drift dive, reef wall, corals pinnacles
Named after the large fossil coral tower which indicates the start of the dive. Initially descend to 12 metres where a pinnacle hangs off a vertical wall with a fan coral underneath. Follow the reef around to an astounding vertical canyon reaching to depths of 120 metres. Keep the depth at 18 metres to get the best of the canyon wall, where small overhangs are filled with glassfish and cave sweepers. The reef juts out into the clear blue waters and the light penetrates deep creating sun beams seemingly from the bottom of the sea.
After this coral head the reef changes from a vertical wall to a sloping bottom with a drop off at 22 metres with pinnacles dotted along the ridge edge, spend time looking for nudibranch and small starfish in these. At the end of the dive is a monstrous pinnacle with a overhang, underneath the overhang check out the red fire sponges as pyjama nudibranches like to frequent the sponges. Take your dive up and over the top of this large pinnacle covered in blue stag coral to complete your safety stop with schools of Sergeant majors and atmospheric lighting for those with a camera.
