Ghost Town named after the many spooky creatures and Harlequin Ghostpipefish which you can find here is indeed a first class critter dive. A andy slope start from the shore going down to 20m plus. The majority of the inhabitants is found in shallow depths around 7m only. Mimic octopus, frogfish unusual nudibranchs, flamboyant cuttlefish and many other rare species can be found here.
