Keep an eye on the artificial reef structure carefully rather than swimming past it quickly, as scorpionfish and octopus tend to sit motionless against surfaces and are easy to miss. Bring a torch even on daytime dives to pick out snowflake morays and nudibranchs in the darker recesses of the reef.
