The drift current is always going in south direction, it can be strong sometimes. You can bring a dive to look in the small caves. Start the dive with the wall on the eight shoulder, going south-west. After circa 30-min diving steep slope, assent to 10m. The cave is teeming with Cardinal fish and Sergeant Major fish (Abudefduf vaigiensis) waiting to be fed. Inside the cave on the east are White-eyed moray eel (Siderea thyrsoidea), and two Black-finned Snake eels (Ophichthus melanochir). Around the top entrance, at 8m, are sometimes well hidden the Raggy Scorpion fish (Scorpaenopsis venosa). Along the wall are Groupers, Wrasse and Butterfly fishes. At the end of the dive when the slope starts look in the shallow for Angelfish or "Frog" fish, between 5 and 10m.
