Hens and chiks - Sandy Island

Hens and Chiks offers a decent intermediate dive around a couple of sizable pinnacles near Sandy Island. We’ve seen plenty of smaller reef fish darting between the coral heads, and often a turtle or two cruising past. The pinnacles rise from a sandy bottom, which always makes for interesting contrast. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for a relaxed, straightforward dive in the area.
