Held in captivity in cages of antler coral, blue gorgonians and sea whips, semiaquatic Homo sapiens will be observed by spotted trunkfish, blue-striped grunts, goatfish, snapper, porgy, wrasses and parrotfish. Intact and safe to penetrate, the wreck is encrusted with tiny patches of brain corals, sea fans and sea rods and tended by a crew of slippery dick wrasse, parrotfish and angelfish. Also inside is a shy green moray eel. Big grouper and schooling jacks split their time between the wreck and the surrounding reef when they aren't buzzing the garden eels on the sand flat. A swim-through at the base of the mooring takes you from the garden eel sand flats at 50 feet and spits you out into the blue at 75 feet.
Divers emerge beneath a canopy of plate coral patrolled by Spanish hogfish and stoplight parrotfish.
The reef slope is thick with deepwater gorgonians, orange elephant ear sponges and man-sized barrel sponges. Trinity is a divine congregation of French angels, eagle rays, rainbowed tropicals and turtles cloistered under coral vaults and candelabras of staghorn. This rarely visited site on the southern tip of the west wall features a sand chute starting at 50 feet that slides past garden eels to a wall with multi-colored bushy black corals. A block of the wall about the size of a bar cabana has broken off, and you can swim the crevice between the two while keeping an eye out for spotted eagle rays. The lavish stands of elkhorn and staghorn coral, found only sparsely elsewhere on the island, resemble a neatly trimmed bonsai garden and lend the site its Oriental name.
