| Top of the Mountain |
Near Dunn's River Falls. A massive underwater
plateau rises up from the sandy ocean floor to 60 ft. (18 m ) below
the surface. The top of the reef is covered with many different
species of soft gorgonians and small coral heads, consisting of
sea rods, sea plumes, sea fans, brain coral, star coral, and clusters
of smooth flower coral.
When you swim along the edge towards shallower water, look out for
the golden hamlets that frequent the area and the uncommon yellow
cheek wrasse, other wise only seen on deeper dives. Hiding in the
coral heads are glasseye snappers, graysbys and squirrel fish. In
the shallow part of the reef the area is sandy, with some low-profile
hard coral. Besides all the regular damsels, indigo and shy hamlets
move about in the company of rock beauties and red band parrot fish.
