Mooie duik
A world famous offshore reef, Elphinstone is the jewel in our crown.
Sheer walls and sometimes currents at exhilarating speeds make this
one for advanced divers only but it will be one you remember. Dive
the east wall in the morning and the west in the afternoon to make
the most of the sun, and light up the abundant soft corals. Anthias
smother the walls and large gorgonian fans and black corals hide
critters such as the infamous longnose hawkfish. Keep an eye out in
the blue for resident schools of snapper, large barracuda and
enormous Napoleon wrasse.
The north and south plateaus drop to over 40mt in depth but can be
a place for very special encounters - manta rays, silvertip, tiger, grey
reef and hammerhead sharks have all been seen here and cruising the
shallows at the right time of year can be curious silky and oceanic
whitetip sharks. |
