Channel
Expect to find a cave full of sharks and tropical fish on this dive, but be aware that not a lot of light penetrates the cave, making it quite a frightening dive. Channel, which is near Raggie's Cave, was named as such because it is a waterway where sharks constantly move. The marine life in this area consists mainly of Ragged-tooth sharks which patrol the area. Turtles have been spotted as well as Sand sharks and Ribbontail Rays in the sand patch near the channel. Raggie Scorpion fish are also common in the area. The fish life includes Wrasse and some tropical reef fish. Coral is not that plentiful on this reef.
