About this site
The Plateau is a massive rock formation lying approximately 150 metres off the southern end of the island, starting at a depth of 12 metres and dropping to 70 metres plus.
It is covered in soft corals and sea fans, and regular visitors include a large school of blackfin barracuda, napoleon wrasse and manta rays.
The site is renowned for its currents, which are sometimes very strong.
