| Divesite description
| Sloping reef consisting of rocks and boulders
|
The massive boulders all tumbled on top of each other creating a maze of Swimthroughs around 24 meters, scenery of whip corals and massive Gorgonian Sea fans in combination with amazing visibility makes Deep Six another breathtaking divesite. Drifting away from the boulders, the sandy bottom easily slopes down below forty.
Currents Mainly towards the most northern point of the side currents can pick up and makes it very easy drift away from the boulders. The current flows from the southwest to the northeast towards high tide and north to south towards low tide. The eastern part of the side has a large channel that offers perfect shelter in strong currents. Marine life
In all the cracks and holes of the rocks you can find cool small stuff such as Nudibranches, pipefish, harlequin and mantis shrimps as well as octopus and banded Seasnakes. Away from the Boulders out in the blue, Barracudas, Travellys, Groupers, Sweetlips and Snapper can be found. As well as leopard sharks and Kuhls sting rays in the sand
