AW SHUCKS
Description:
Next to a pearl farm, this site has a verdant mix of coral and sponge growth in the shallows with a sand slope below. The first divers to explore this site proclaimed "Aw Shucks!" after they found a lot of critters during their dive. Snorkelling can also be done here. For divers, the shallows offer such finds as leaf scorpionfish, cuttlefish, a good nudibranch selection and the sand slope has the “muck” critters such as flamboyant cuttlefish, sea horses, ghost pipefish, sea moths and sand octopus such as the mimic and wonderpus species.
