Salon is made up of one main rock, about 3m long, which is home to an abundance of life. Macro enthusiasts will love this site’s variety of nudibranchs, leaf fish, pipe fish and shrimps.

With so much to see, you’ll find yourself looking under every nook and cranny trying to outdo your buddy on their latest find but make sure you also watch out for trumpetfish who prowl the reef using you as cover while the hunt for their next meal. With its lack of current, Salon is the perfect site to brush up on your skills and is a favourite amongst instructors for one of the Open Water qualifying dives. This “LEMON & HERB” site is the third dive of the open water course.

The main section of this reef runs for about 80 meters and ranges in depth from 9 meters on the top to about 15 meters on the bottom. There are a variety of Stingrays on this dive site, mostly Kuhl Stingrays, Torpedo Rays and Blue Spotted Ribbontail Rays. Towards the Northern section of the reef we have two resident Green Turtles, Crocodile Fish, occasional Stone Fish and Spotted Guitar Sharks. Lobsters, Marbled Octopus and Reef Squid occur throughout the dive site as well as Leaf Fish, juvenile Frog Fish, Ghost Pipefish and Orangatang Crabs hiding in little crevices, making this particular reef worth a visit to all divers who are into their Macro life.

On occasion however some of the larger marine animals can be seen, this being Honeycomb Whiptail Rays, Leopard Rays and Blotched Fantail Rays hiding on the sandy outer regions.
