Shag Rock
This egg-shaped reef runs basically northwest to southeast. The reeftop is marked by a light beacon as well as the wreck of a fishing boat. The wreck of the Sarah H lies in the shallows just offshore. The barely submerged reeftop is surrounded by a sloping reef wall, made up of a decent range of hard and soft corals. There are plenty of branching forms and a few patches of very nice soft corals. The site hosts a wide-ranging population of fish with lots of schooling fish and pelagics. The best dive is along the reef's eastern side. The shallow location of the Sarah H is a bonus for snorkellers. The stern section is particularly atmospheric, with its looming bulk silhouetted against the clear light which penetrates the shallow waters. Shop
