This small island can be circumnavigated in one scuba dive, but you may have to seek shelter from the current. There is a small drop-off and a cave on the east side and undersea mount on the west side, which slopes off very deep. The east (shoreward) side has all the expected reef fish and invertebrates, but when the current is running various pelagic species can appear out of the depths on the west side. At neap tides, this is a good night scuba dive, with lots of flat worms, nudibranchs, moray eels, catfish and squid.
