RED BARREN CAVES

Red Lizardfish
Just around the point to the south of Rikoriko Cave
POOR KNIGHTS IS, NORTHLAND 
Depth: 0-25m
There are a series of entrances and exits from about 5m to the bottom at 25m. Usually a few crayfish in the caves and golden snapper and big eye. Every shape and colour of sponge you could imagine lives here and nudibranchs graze on the bryozoans. You can exit and enter at any of the holes down the wall. Great in the late afternoon when the sunlight shines in the entrances.
