About Big Bend

The spot begins at near Big Bend, north around 200m where a current takes you gently - 1/2 kt to the Cabbage Patch. There are many crevices and cracks to explore - mind a few counter currents near the Bend. Around 15m the wall slopes gently into the abyss. There is plenty here for macro lovers. Likened to Spanish Wall there is even some fragile white Pulse coral. The reef fish here are abundant and turtles hang out a bit too. If you take a drift further you'll meet up with huge barracuda.
