Almost 2km long reef with scattered coral heads
Take a long safety sausage as its easy to become disorientated
Between the bommies sandy floors are covered with smaller coral patches and
numerous blue staghorn thickets.
In the smaller coral patches look for giant clams, butterflyfish, rabbitfish,
damsels, angelfish and pipefish.
On the bommies you'll be confronted with many swim-throughs
The swim-throughs are partially closed on top, sending magical shafts of light
down the mysterious passageways
Take special care in the passageways while passing the large gorgonian fans
and soft coral.
Anemones host several species of commensal fish and transparent shrimps
Boulder coral heads have dozens of multi-coloured Christmas worms
A fish-feeding permit allows the Coral Princess to attract trevally, wrasse,
spangled emperor, red bass, blue and gold fusiliers and sergeant majors for
the benefit of guests.
