Big White
Wall
Big White is available for divers of all levels who want to explore the beauty of the marine life here. Its name has nothing to do with the underwater topography though, but originates from the steep white cliffs along the shoreline. The highlight of this dive site is the large wall with a healthy beautiful reef with some impressive stands of pilar coral along its top. There are also interesting caverns around here, which are full of various tropical fish. The common species here include parrotfish, lionfish, starfish, barracudas, nurse sharks, moray eels, stingrays, lobsters and French grunts. The reef is full of various corals, sponges, gorgonians, sea plums and purple fans. The beauty of colors and shapes of Big White makes it a perfect spot for underwater photography.
