We are enjoying this special and amazing place...yesterday on the midday low tide we went to explore the reef. Quite surreal. The reef was rising about 2 or 3 feet out of the water with water running across the top of it causing a waterfall back into the atoll. We anchored the dinghy and stepped up onto the reef and walked mid calf deep in water across to the weather side where the waves continuously crash onto the reef. Small fish scatter under our feet and try to hide in the shallow pools. This reef is quite different from how we remember South Minerva Reef which dries completely leaving large deep pools containing a variety of fish life. This reef is almost a symmetrical circle and is relatively clear of bommies right up to the inner edge, whereas South Minerva has an area of shallows with coral outcrops.... prefect housing for crayfish. Apart from seeing a crayfish shell, we haven't seen any live crayfish here, but they must be somewhere, possibly more visible at night...but we are not keen on getting in the water and hunting at night in this place. We are going to dive outside the reef today by the entrance which should be a memorable dive...we'll keep you posted.
