At the west end of "the cow," there is an H-shaped network of coral tunnels that is roomy enough to accommodate two divers. Inside the tunnels, with the aide of a dive light, you'll see the rough-hewn walls transform into a kaleidoscope of dazzling colors as the red encrusting corals, yellow sponges and orange tubastrea come to life. Even though this particular site has little silt to stir up, be careful not to kick up the bottom so divers who swim through after you can enjoy the experience as well.
In addition to the tunnels, archways, overhangs, and undercuts enhance the beauty and excitement of this dive. Copper sweepers can be found in the rear of one of the overhangs, which also has a small outlet to the surface. You are likely to encounter schools of horse-eye jacks that cruise the periphery of the rocks. You may even see a nurse shark resting quietly under one of the ledges or near the base of the rocks as it oxygenates its gills in the moving water. The arches, in particular, offer some excellent opportunities for wide-angle photography.
This is an ideal spot for the curious diver. With a maximum depth around 40 feet, you are unlikely to run out nooks and crannies to explore before you run out of bottom time.
This is not a particularly deep dive, but it is generally recommended as an intermediate dive due to the surge conditions. For divers with some experience, this is simply an inconvenience.
