The Lighthouse is also a very reputable night dive area where it is not uncommon to see sleeping parrot fish, Spanish dancers, Red Sea lobsters, shrimps, hermit crabs and much more. This is a gently sloping wall dive to suit all levels of divers and offers easy entry and exit through a shallow sandy lagoon, home to several lion fish. As the name suggests there are numerous garden eels that can be seen opposite the wall in the white sloping sand bank. The wall starts at 3m and has a maximum depth of approximately 16 metres. Exiting the lagoon and swimming across the sandy slopes, viewing the garden eels at close proximity, will bring you to a beautiful coral garden littered with hard and soft corals and other aquatic life.
Divers can then return to the lagoon along the wall which is alive with color and texture.
For those with good air consumption, a drift dive from the Eel Garden to the Lighthouse offers a varied and relaxing dive. RICK'S REEF Located a few hundred metres north of the Canyon, Rick's Reef is a pleasant drift dive following a meandering wall covered in numerous varieties of corals. The wall begins at 3m and has a maximum depth of approximately 18m to its bottom. From there the sandy bottom gradually slopes away dotted with small coral outcrops. Rick's reef also gives the diver an opportunity to inspect The Canyon from above before finishing in the sandy lagoon.
