Long
ago, a large sand spit formed in the lagoon between two small east reef islands
separated by a shallow reef and which was greatly influenced by tidal effects.
Although a causeway that stopped the flow of water across the reef was built
between the islands over 25 years ago, the sand spit continued to support large,
often seasonal, patches of small rocks and Halimeda algae separated by large
areas of sand and creating a diversity of habitats on the top, sides and base
of the spit. It was always a favorite dive site for both day and night.
