SLOW POKE
Description:
A seldom-dived site between the more popular Retak Larry and Magic Crack, this gentle sand slope has some rubble and a single bommie that can harbor numerous ornate ghost pipefish at times. The dive site is named Slow Poke because it covers a relatively small area, so the best way to dive it is very slowly, looking carefully for critters.
Depth:
20 m maximum depth
Boat ride: 10 minute
Primary marine life:
symbiotic crustaceans, orante ghost pipefish and a variety of octopus species
