Overview

Description

With a maximum depth of around 16 metres, this site starts out shallow with small bommies, fields of soft coral, sea pens and anemones. Pay attention to spot several areas with sunken pots and smashed plate shards presumed to have fallen from passing merchant ships. Some impressive treasures to be found here! Heading North the site develops into a vibrant soft coral reef with overhangs and mini walls where turtles frequently shelter from the current. Frogfish, nudibranches, flatworms, moray eels and small stingrays as well as an impressive variation of juvenile wrasses and large yellow-margin triggerfish feature here. This site was named after Danii; as during the maiden exploration of this area, she spotted a frogfish in her favourite colour - pink!
