Groups of amberjack patrol the open water adjacent to the wall, using the current convergence at the headland to herd smaller fish. These powerful predators frequently approach divers out of curiosity, often circling closely before resuming their patrol — a signature encounter at this site.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
