Orange Canyon
A boat dive that starts at a mooring ball and drops through a canyon named for its large orange elephant ear sponges, emerging onto the wall at around 30 m (100 ft). Spotted eagle rays and sharks are possible along the wall; the top of the wall holds corals, sponges, eels and turtles. Sources place it on the West Bay / north-west wall; one guide puts it just south of Northwest Point.
