Moonlight

Moonlight is a very popular dive site. It is great for diving along the top of the reef. There is also an amazing wall. The sand patches under the mooring lines are great for teaching.

The reef here contains lots of life: jawfish, goatfish, peacock flounders, decorator crabs, rays, and occasionally, sharks.
