Torpedo Point is north of Cannibal Rock, still in the southern bay. The reef is broken rock, around 15 m, surrounded by sand. That is why it suits photos: the small animals are on the rock, without a need to touch a coral field.
What people look for: torpedo rays, bobbit worms, flying gurnards, frogfish, and ghost pipefish. None of them are guaranteed, and the bobbit worm and the torpedo ray are easy to miss if the dive is fast. The site map is about 5–30 m. Entry is by boat.
