A seasonal spot only dived by us because of it's close proximity to Tanzania. A thoroughly enjoyable, varied day out with fishing, picnic on the boat and diving or snorkelling withcreatures that rarely see people. Depths vary from as shallow as you like to as deep as you are prepared to go. Dolphin Point   This dive site owes its name to the playful dolphins that divers are lucky enough to spend time with here. Depth 3 - 12 meters. The coral growths are splendid, and bigeyes and squirrelfish abound. There are exquisite varieties of lionfish and turkeyfish, and dense clouds of yellow-striped snappers float above and around the coral heads. Large multicoloured parrotfish feed off the coral. On the sandy bottom the bizarre outline of the head of the predatory flatfish (Aurrelia aurita) may be distinguished as it lies in ambush for unsuspecting prey. Hassan Reef Maximum depth 16m The coral cover is delicate and unspoilt. Strikingly beautiful lilac-blue soft corals are to be found along most of the reef's length. The coral formations on Hassan reef ore often inhabited by exquisitely contrasting orangefairy damselfish. Turtles have been spotted resting among the coral growths, and brightly coloured angelfish and surgeonfish abound. Further to the west are isolated coral heads that attract bigger fish, such as inquisitive jacks (caranx) and some large sweetlips. Nudibranchia, (sea slugs) are given little importance by the average snorkeller or diver. They have various shades of purple, red, blue, green and yellow, a warning to predators that they are noxious or even toxic; their colour also helps them hide themselves by use of camouflage. Chemical warfare is the weapon of choice for many; some secrete acids which produce a sensation found to be distasteful by fish. Others secrete toxins so powerful that a nudibranch placed in a bucket with fish or crabs will kill them in about an hour! They are also hermaphroditic - that is having both male and female reproductive organs present in adult specimens.
