One of the most talked about reefs in the fury shoals reef system, the reef is roughly square-shaped, close to the moorings on the south side there is a cave system, which provides excellent opportunities for photographers, with the advantage of being right next to the moorings! The cave has a maximum depth of just 14 meters and provides a hiding place for large morays, lionfish and blue spotted rays. There are 5 different entry and exit points to the caves and lots of ambient light inside. On the west side, there are is a wonderful hard coral garden, on the north side there is a passage that splits Claudio form the next reef block, current can be strong here but hen the current is light its possible to visit the pinnacles here which are full of life. On the south side there are good chances to meet the three large napoleon wrasse that live here, and usually, there are many groups of shoaling fish.
