SANTA ROSA SHALLOW

DEPTH: 20’-50’

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate

Exploring these healthy patches of coral teeming with fish and sponges is an excellent way to end a deep wall dive, or to do as shallow second dive. Drift over the pure, white sandy bottom from area to area in a relatively mild current since the large formations along the wall provide some protection to the coral patches in the shallows. Sponges are abundant and there is a variety of hard corals, angel fish, box fish, snapper, and lots of trigger fish populate this area. Very photogenic area with the light reflecting off the ocean floor.
