Site details

Because the currents on Little Brother's eastern and western walls usually run north to south, dives often finish on the southern plateau, a wide ledge around 20m or deeper. Schools of barracuda frequently circle here while dogtooth tuna and reef sharks hunt nearby. It is a productive end point for a wall drift along the island.
