Eel
Canyon
is named after the garden eels that protrude from the
sand in the bottThis site is named after the abundance
of Blue corals in the area. The topography consists of
three spurs of coral starting at around 10m and
extending out to 50m with sandy gullies in between a
grass plain is found to the shoreward side and this
grass extends down the centre of the gullies to 30m.
At the south reef there is a circular reef sporting some
nice black coral trees. There are numerous small
pinnacles at the top end of each spur- this area is good
for a variety of nudibranchs found.om of the canyons.
(There are also some nice morays here). You can use the
table coral and oil drum as navigation points so you
know where you are in the area. There are many lion fish
under coral ledges and some nice black coral bushes.
There is a nice swim through at the bottom of one spur
of coral - be careful with you fins though! |
