About Rock Pile / Bonheur de Betsy

The mooring lies directly offshore from a pile of rocks. This is one of the few sites where one can enjoy a huge colony of stag horn coral which provides day time hiding places for many schooling fish, such as grunts and snappers. A large green moray eel has been known to hide amongst the boulder corals. Many purple tube sponges and orange elephant ear sponges can be seen here.
