The reef is also home to many mollusks, crustaceans, and various species of fish.

In the open water and around the reef, larger pelagics and iconic species frequently appear. You can encounter sea turtles, including the Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) and the Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata).

Macro life and smaller inhabitants add significant detail to your dives.

The area is also a place to spot diverse crustaceans and a wide variety of colourful reef fish.
