The top of the sea mount lies at around 25 metres. It’s about the size of a football pitch, fairly flat, and slopes steeply at all sides down to hundreds of metres. The whole of the reef top is covered with colourful corals and masses of small bright coloured antheas in an ever moving cloud. You can find just about anything here – octopus, morays, nudibranchs – I’m sure that there is much to discover on the reef top itself, but there is never time, because your attention is dragged away to the blue water above that is so dense with fish that it casts a shadow. Just off the reef top, always current side, is a huge every circling school of many hundreds of circling barracuda.
