    Great White Sand is, unsurprisingly, a mostly sandy site off Green Island. It’s a good spot for macro enthusiasts who enjoy combing the bottom for smaller critters. You’ll often find various nudibranchs and flatworms here, and it's a solid choice for a second dive or when currents pick up elsewhere. This isn’t a vibrant coral dive, but it’s relaxing and productive for those with an eye for detail.
