Or why not head to the Lesleen M wreck dive... and keep an eye out for the resident frog fish! Make sure you dive the Pinnacles, where four coral and gorgonian-encrusted seamounts that rise tantalisingly up from the ocean depths". These four spectacular volcanic peaks rise up from the depths to within a few feet of the surface.
