It is best known for big species such as grey reef sharks, and semi-pelagic fish like dog-tooth tunas, Spanish mackerels, mobula rays, eagle rays and barracudas. There are also wonderful pristine coral gardens, sponges and fans and many different species of nudibranchs.

Albatross Passage is a narrow channel which separates two islands. Eagle rays, mobulas and manta rays are here in abundance as well as grey reef sharks, barracudas, and large dogtooth tunas. At the northern end of the passage is a ridge covered in beautiful soft corals where a variety of smaller reef species can be found, including leaf scorpionfish and pygmy seahorses.
