We’ve had a few good whale shark encounters here, often just cruising by the deeper parts of the reef. The corals themselves include some nice patches of staghorn and table corals, a decent backdrop as you drift along. It's an easy drift, suitable for most divers looking for a relaxed experience with a chance of something special passing through.
