- JACKSON REEF: After following the reef towards the plateau to the west, you will see large gorgonians.

The current can be quite strong, bringing pelagic fish to the drop-off and sometimes even above the plateau. Further away, a very large school of gregarious bannerfish and blue triggerfish.

- GORDON REEF: Along the eastern drop-off, looking into the "blue," you can see sandbar sharks that don't seem to be bothered by the current, quite the opposite. Then, if you head south, going back up onto the shelf, you should see a pretty little sandbar occupied by a colony of garden eels, standing upright. Further on, a very large school of gregarious bannerfish and blue triggerfish.

We will then leave the plateau and the deep zone to head (following the current) to the western drop-off, which is teeming with life, with alcyonarians of all colors, magnificent gorgonians, and an extremely varied fauna: groupers, barracudas, and more. On this islet, you have the chance to see an incredible number of shark species: grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, silky sharks, hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks, and, of course, often near the surface, the one you've all been waiting for: the oceanic whitetip shark.
