HORSE
HEAD REEF

The
reef covers a very large area with
an average depth of about 35m/115ft.
The
site takes its name from one of the rock
formations that resembles a horse's
head, but there are other numerous rock
formations that make the topography of
the site really interesting. Soft tree
corals dominate the substrate, along
with areas of large whip corals and big
gorgonian fans. During strong flood
tides shoals of tuna, shoals of jacks
and king jacks are regularly seen,
making this a great drift dive.
Hammerheads and thresher sharks have
also been sighted. At the end of the
reef is a wall that drops down to
55m/180ft, making this a good site for
technical divers. The current here can
be very strong, so it is a site
recommended only for advanced divers.
