This under water mountain just breaks the surface several hundred metres off the tip of Verde Island. The most frequently dived spot is a wall which bottoms out at about 77m/255ft and becomes a gradual slope from here. The view here is outstanding, giving the impression of looking straight up the side of a building. From this area, if current is running, there can be a very strong upwelling, but the fish life will be at its best at such times. Shallower than 40m/130ft the coral life becomes particularly rich, and on flood tides there is one specific place where almost all of the marine life appears to congregate, with care you can hold on here and spend all your shallow stops watching the show. Expect to see all the fish you would normally get on a current prone tropical dive site proximal to very deep water.
