You will see here very large schools of big eyed travelies, cheveron barracuda, and snappers. On the reef itself lionfish, scorpion fish and octopus, look in the small cracks and crevices for numerous types of shrimp, it is even possible to find harlequin shrimps. Not to forget of course the chance for whale and guitar sharks.
