Japanese Gardens
It is a small dive with many small fish but as the name suggests Japanese
Gardens is something different. The coral formations in this bay create
an oriental garden impression and the variety of corals are nothing short
of stunning, including coral of the acropora type.
Hundreds of different species of soft and hard corals can be found here
and layers of sponges with a variety of nudibranches devouring them.
There are spectacular small coral fish in abundance. It is a protected
bay with clear calm water, ideal for diver training but it is also a relaxing
shallow dive to contrast for those more experienced who have been diving
the pinnacles.
