EAST GOAT ISLAND

Two-Spot Demoiselle
Just south of Tony’s Cave 
Depth: 0-25m
The walls drop straight to 17m, covered in anemones, sponges and other invertebrates. Schools of blue maomao, trevally and kahawai near the surface, replaced by demoiselles and butterfly perch deeper down. Big crays nestle in the cracks and large transient snapper are usually present but flee as you approach. The gravel bottom is home to giant boarfish, red pigfish and masses of other fish. Best dived in the morning with no swell.
