Eagle corner

Eagle Corner often surprises us. Sure, the eagle statue is a bit kitsch, but it’s a good landmark to start our descent, usually in a gentle current. We love how the reef here just stretches out, a really healthy mix of soft corals swaying alongside sturdy table and staghorn formations. It feels like a proper, mature reef, not just a collection of pretty bits. The turtles are the real stars here, though. We often spot multiple green and hawksbill turtles munching away or just cruising past, sometimes so engrossed they barely notice us. Keep an eye out for ribbon eels poking their heads from the sand; they're always a treat. On a good day, with a bit of current, you might even catch a glimpse of a whitetip reef shark patrolling the deeper sections. This site is a relaxed drift, perfect for photographers wanting to spend time with the turtles or newer divers getting comfortable with currents. Dive it in the late morning, the light catches the corals beautifully.
