Fish Rain - This is usually done as a drift dive.
Current can be very strong here, so listen carefully to the instructions given
by the guide or the captain. This dive is an experience in the abundant. Fish
of all types congregate here in large numbers. As you move along the slope of
the wall, look over your head and you will experience the name of the dive site.
Fish will be raining down on you!! As you glide around the corner, keep a watch
for those large visitors. Our last sighting of a whale shark was on this site.
We have seen hammerhead and tiger sharks here and the rarest of all - a playful
monk seal. Monk seals are on the endangered species list and a sighting of one
is very rare. We not only looked at this guy, he hung around long enough for
the guide to take several great photos of him. Even without the unusual, the
site is a great dive. Lots to look at with the knowledge that not many others
have seen what you are seeing. This is generally done as a first dive with a
depth between 80 and 100 feet.
