    The Canyons offers a good drift dive, best suited for those comfortable with some current. You'll move along a sandy bottom interspersed with coral bommies, home to schools of snapper and fusiliers. Keep an eye out for trevally and the occasional passing reef shark here. It's a solid choice for a second dive of the day, when the currents often pick up a bit.
