Boo West

Boo West is dived off the last small island at the western end of the Boo chain. A wall drops from the 5 m reef edge to about 25 m and leads to a canyon that separates the main reef from a set of submerged pinnacles. Fish life rivals Boo Windows with far fewer divers: red-tooth triggerfish, fusiliers, sweetlips, batfish, green turtles and blacktip reef sharks. The walls also hold nudibranchs, orangutan crabs and pygmy seahorses.
