In this area a very gentle slope leads to a wall which starts at 40m/130ft and falls to between 51m/170ft and 60m/200ft. Two distinct sites lay at either end of the wall a couple of hundred metres apart. Markus Cave is a picturesque cavern next to a set of ledges which have beautiful deep water reef fish, and often harbour White Tip Reef Sharks, whereas Sweetlips Corner to the east has a dog-leg swim through at 51m/170/ft around which cluster a large school of Ribbon Sweetlips shelter, along with Emperors, Jacks and Batfish. Pelagics such as Dog Tooth Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo and occasionally Mantas have been seen here. This dive is best around slack high tide, plan for a drifting decompression.
