Crocodile Avenue is a super dive site for macro photography. It is a sandy slope slowly going down with some rock formations. You can find on the sandy bottom many critters as well as seahorses, a rare species of crocodilefish, ghost pipefish and snake eels. The topography of the dive site is very interesting but if you are not a macro lover you could find this dive site quite boring! You better have sharp eyes ;-)

This location is a Reef.

Best time to dive: the ideal period to plan holidays here isApril to May. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Crocodile Avenue on the right for the exact location.
