A series of reefs, small walls and varying contours that range in depth from 30m/100ft to 5m/15ft make the Steps a great multilevel dive. The dive starts as you descend down to the deepest reef, then make your way up past a small wall covered with hard and soft corals and teeming with fish life, including shoals of batfish, tuna and surgeonfish. Eagle rays have been observed at this dive too. Ascending to shallower depths you pass over basket sponges and prolific mushroom corals interspersing ferns and small gorgonians. Triggerfish and various species of puffer fish, such as spotted box fish and porcupine fish are common, along with colorful parrot fish of different species. The fish are generally very diverse with lots of bigger species well represented. On the shallowest part of the dive are plate corals and brain corals, and turtles are regularly seen serenely cruising over the reef.
