Canyon
An unforgettable journey through a mysterious labyrinth of caves and columns, where lots of spongy and gorgonian fan corals grow, home of an infinite variety of species, among with snappers, fusiliers, sweetlips, stingrays and nurse sharks to name just a few.

Big Cave
The challenge for every experienced diver.............it's deep and dark. The long and narrow tunnel goes straight into the reef wall - it ends after 60 m in a big round room. The luckiest divers will find themselves face to face with nurse sharks or turtles that are looking for a quiet place to rest. The best part is the way back when one can see a blue hole with terrific light showing the way back to reality!

Airport Reef
At Airport Reef, you can explore a huge cave and a small chimney, in which you can move along easily. Perfect place for amazing pictures, the cave houses a fish extremely rare: the famous sea grass pipe fish that lives in the neighbourhood of napoleons and bumped head parrot fishes, surrounded by an infinite variety of colourful soft coral. Grey reef sharks and turtles are occasional visitors...

Secret Passage
Far from the main reef (approximately 30 to 40 meters away) there is a huge rock with a secret passage leading to a tunnel. The tunnel starts at 24 m deep and ends at 18 m deep, housing lionfish, lobsters and glassfish. Many fusiliers, snappers, young barracudas and a few older ones live in the vicinity.

Mini Wall
While swimming along this beautiful wall, you can explore the many caves of different sizes which are full of soft and gorgonian fan corals, unique nudibranchs, snails, and a wide variety of moray eels. It is also the perfect place to see eagle rays, turtles and napoleons.
