Rays & reef sharks
Rays rest on the sand between the reefs, turtles cruise the walls and the occasional shark passes through, with a lucky few divers spotting the odd hammerhead in the warm months.
When and where to see them
The reefs are replete with marine life, every one of them only watched and never touched. Book a dive, keep your distance, and let them come to you.
