This site is an excellent shallow dive in an area
covered in coral. There are 3 pinnacles, each with its
own ecosystem. The central pinnacle boasting a busy
cleaning station. Down the coral slope there is a large
gorgonia fan coral the site is named after and to the
north a series of table corals. Hawksbill turtles
frequent the area. Around the northern pinnacle are a
shoal of big eye emperors and a large shoal of sergeant
major fish. Here a deep gulley full of fusiliers drops
off towards the Japanese Gardens. The mooring is to the
south in a sandy patch at 15m. North west of the fan
coral is currently under survey using a down line of the
Marine Park Boundary buoy in 24m.
