Lion's Head

The name comes from a coral overhang shaped like a lion’s head, and there is also a large cave with soft corals. The site used to be a place for feeding sharks for tourists, and signs of damage remain where visitors sat and stood on the corals to watch the show. Turtles, eagle rays and tuna pass along the wall, and the grey-reef sharks are the stars, often in good numbers. The wall has sponges, sea fans, crinoids and anemones and, with luck, leaf fish, false stone fish or octopus.
