DEVIL'S CROWN

This partially exposed cone of an extinct volcano is located a short distance in front of the island. The jagged rocks that peak out of the water form a crown shape giving the area its name. Inside the crown is a relative shallow pool, sandy slope and numerous boulders, pinnacles, tunnels and caves. Jumping in the water you are frequently greeted by playful sea lions, schools of large yellowtail snapper, barberfish and grunts. Other sites include blackspot moray, hawkfish, filefish, king angelfish, creolefish, jacks, turtles, octopus, golden eagle rays, hammerheads and whitetips.
