Fish Spot, off Sandy Island, gives you exactly what the name suggests: fish. It's a shallow, sandy bottom at 16 meters, often with good visibility. We see plenty of reef fish here – snapper, grunt, some parrotfish – congregating around the scattered coral heads. It's a calm, easy dive, ideal for beginners or those looking for a relaxed second tank.
