The diverse underwater landscape is formed by kelp beds, rocky outcrops, walls and sand patches and form habitats for an amazing abundance of predominantly temperate marine life. Sessile life includes sponges, fans sea tulips and some coral. The elusive Blue Devilfish can be found hiding under ledges.
