Fish Den

Fish Den is one of those sites we always recommend, especially if you’ve got a good eye for the smaller stuff. The mooring sits right on a coral pillar, almost like a natural monument, at about 7 meters. From there, it’s a gentle drop into a square-shaped cut in the main reef wall, winding down to around 18 meters before rejoining the wall proper. It’s a great spot for an easy, meandering dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who likes to take their time. We love poking around the sponges and sea fans, really getting into the nooks and crannies. You’re almost guaranteed to spot a mottled conger moray peeking out from a crevice, or if you’re lucky, a yellowhead jawfish hovering near its burrow. Keep an eye out for the blennies, especially the banded and dusky varieties, they’re masters of camouflage here. The schooling fish add a nice dynamic, too, often swirling around the pillar. We've found the best light is usually mid-morning, really bringing out the corals' colours.
