Purple Haze

Purple soft coral and red gorgonians over a gently sloping reef.

12–18metres

Named for the wash of purple soft coral that covers the reef, broken up by red gorgonian fans. Shoals of fusiliers pour over the top of the reef on most dives, and the shallow depth means you get a long, unhurried look at it.
