A series of reefs, small walls and varying contours
that range in depth from 30m/100ft to 5m/15ft make
the Steps a great multilevel dive. The dive starts
as you descend down to the deepest reef, then make
your way up past a small wall covered with hard
and soft corals and teeming with fish life, including
shoals of batfish, tuna and surgeonfish. Eagle rays
have been observed at this dive too. Ascending to
shallower depths you pass over basket sponges and
prolific mushroom corals interspersing ferns and
small gorgonians. Triggerfish and various species
of puffer fish, such as spotted box fish and porcupine
fish are common, along with colorful parrot fish
of different species. The fish are generally very
diverse with lots of bigger species well represented.
On the shallowest part of the dive are plate corals
and brain corals, and turtles are regularly seen
serenely cruising over the reef.
