This dive starts off descending deep along the sheer wall, looking out in the blue for pelagics. Eventually, you head towards the south at about 22m deep. There the current will bring you to Barracuda Point where there is a school of thousands of barracuda. You then finish the dive in the shallows of the Coral Garden.
