The top of this formation is shaped like an egg with the pointed end to the Southwest. The top is very irregular with a rocky ridge that runs in a Northeast to Southwest direction. On the North side there is a rock face that starts about 30 feet and goes down to about 45 feet. The East side is made up of large rocky slopes and drop-offs with some holes almost big enough to swim into. At the South end the ridge that runs along the top continues down to a small bolder slope at the bottom that starts to level off at about 85 feet. You almost always find a pair of Wolf Eels here. As you continue on you will change course and start heading in a more Northerly direction and can either explore the West side, which is less dramatic than the East side, or you can follow a small ravine back to the top. On the top you can explore the rock formations and the life there and work your way up to the highest point for your safety stop. This is one of our favorite dives. There's something for everyone here, and it's an incredible night dive!
On this site you should see lots of large life such as Wolf Eels, Octopus, big Ling Cod, Rock Fish, and usually a Yellow Eye that seems to like the south end. You will also find Lithoid Crab in the cracks, Squat Lobster, Nudibranch, Red and White Sea Cucumber. At the shallower depths you will find Gobies, Warbonnets, Gunnels, Grunt Sculpin, Sailfin Sculpin and more. This is a great site to test your identification skills. This site is great for open water or advanced divers, photography, naturalist and night dives.
