The Tunnel is another easy, sheltered dive site and is very popular as a night dive. The shallow sloping reef is mainly hard corals including staghorn, plate, table, brain and mushroom corals. However once the reef hits 10m it drops off into the abyss and the wall is covered with soft corals and gorgonian sea fans. The hard coral reef is mainly a nursery for small reef fish.

Other ever presents are pufferfish, parrotfish, snapper, wrasse and fusilier. Turtles can be seen here also and anthias and damsels provide the color. On the wall swirling schools of amber jacks can be seen. On night dives look for mantis shrimps, pink squat lobster, hermit crabs, decorator crabs and spider crabs.
