20 - The Alma-Jane Wreck

Depth: 25-30m (66-100ft) Sunk in 2003, this is a beautiful steel cargo ship measuring over 30m (99ft) in length. It sits upright, providing us with easy access to the ship's hold. Makes for a wonderful swim-through! Large snapper, lionfish and batfish are just a few of the critters found on the Alma-Jane.

21- THE ATOLL
Depth 33m/110ft

Rising from 33m/110' to 20m/65' this large rock has several small crevices on the bottom side where reef sharks and stingrays can often be found. On the other side, the rock overhangs making it a good place to explore with a flashlight with many eels, lionfish, nudibranchs and octopus. A large grouper is also spotted sometimes and also the occasional larger pelagic fish. Good for Nitrox.

22 - JOSHUA'S WALL
Depth 60m/200ft to 80m/265ft

The wall runs north to south, is quite long and is between 10m/30ft and 15m/50ft in height. The top is at 60m/200ft and drops off to sand and rocks at about 76m/250ft. Here you may see schools of midnight snapper. The sandy areas seem desert-like, but in the distance are two large atolls. The top of the atolls are at 64m/210ft, dropping to 82m/270ft, where schools of batfish have been seen. The water is cold here (about 15C) so there is limited coral coral growth, but visibility can reach over 30m/100ft. Best to dive this site at slack tide.

23 - PINK WALL
Depth 12m/40ft

An overhang which, when dived on the correct tide, is perfect for novices and photographers. Surface conditions can be a little rough. Good night dive.

24 - THE STEPS
Depth 5m/150ft to 30m/100ft

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.

25 - TURTLE ROCK
Depth 5m/15ft to 45m/150ft

Follow the slope down at the bottom of Sinandigan Wall to a giant rock at 45m/150ft, healthy with marine life, such as gorgonians and sea whips. Sweet-lips and snapper are common, and whitetip reef sharks and turtle are sometimes seen here. this site is best dived on the flood tide.

26 - SINANDIGAN WALL
Depth 40m/130ft

A real wall goes down to 40m/130', with all manner of corals plus at least seven different varieties of nudibranchs and plenty of larger fish.

27 - THE BOULDERS
Depth 3m/10ft to 21m/70ft

At the surface you face a vertical stone wall and a few large boulders breaking the surface . As you descend underwater, down the slope, the site is covered with different shapes and sizes of boulders that look like they have rolled from the surface and have come to rest on the slope, creating swim-through and cave. There are gorgonians of many colors, basket sponges and soft tree corals here. Blue fingered starfish, sea cucumbers, stonefish, scorpion fish, lionfish, spotted snapper and striped sweetlips are all abundant here, and in the caves small lobster and prawns can be found. It is best to dive this site on flood tide when there is no current as the area has a lot of silt sediment. It is a good site for wide-angle macro photography.

28 - JAPANESE WRECK
Depth 42m/140ft

Situated on a flat sandy bottom, all that remains of this WWII Japanese patrol boat is the engine block and propeller shaft. Two very large moray eels are resident, along with 30+ sweetlips.
A large orange stonefish is also hidden amongst the engine along with a wealth of small invertebrates. A flashlight makes for a memorable dive. Good Nitrox dive.
