05-20-07 01 Orange Canyon

This was our first boat dive on our first full day. Orange Canyon is a site on the West End of the island right off the north end of Seven Mile Beach. The name Orange Canyon comes from the large number of big and bright Orange Elepaht Ear Coral lining the Canyon Walls. This dive was to 64' max with an average depth of 55' for 38 mins. Dive highlights include the Elephant Ear Coral, Parrotfish, a Peacock Flounder, Oceanic Triggerfish, a Barracuda, and a Puffer fish.
