The Bight

The Bight is one of those spots we recommend for a second dive of the day, a chance to really slow down. It’s a shallow one, just topping out at 19m, so you get plenty of bottom time to poke around. We love drifting over the sandy patches between the coral heads, keeping an eye out for the Fat Sleepers – they’re surprisingly camouflaged, almost like a piece of the sand itself. You'll often see groups of Chalk Bass darting in and out of the crevices, and the juveniles of Grey Snapper hang out in the turtlegrass. The Ten-ray Star Corals here are particularly impressive, forming big, intricate structures that hide all sorts of smaller life, like the Coney and the occasionally glimpsed Spot-tail Golden Bass. We’ve had some cracking encounters with green turtles here too, just cruising along, completely unfazed. Visibility generally hovers around a comfortable 20-25m, making it a super relaxed dive. It’s perfect for new divers getting their buoyancy dialled in or experienced folks who just want a chill cruise, hunting for critters and enjoying the quiet hum of the reef. If you hit it mid-morning, the light spilling onto the top reef is just gorgeous.
