South Sands

This area is a sand patch surrounded by reef with scattered rocks peppering the sand patch. The reef life is rather quiet when you first approach, but underneath the rock there is a great deal of sea life. Reef fish hide in the crevices away from the predators and Boxfish, Pufferfish and even Crayfish can be found if you take the time to look. Sand sharks and various kinds of Rays are seen on a regular basis on this sand patch. On the reef patches you will find Leather coral, yellow turret coral and Thristle coral in various colours. A wide range of Nudibranchs are also found here. Don't forget to look around for other game fish visiting the area, especially when schools of tuna pass by.
