Michael McFadyen's Scuba Diving - Sea Horses of Bare Island
Bare Island is the most amazing dive location. There are at least 10 different dives that can be done with only small sections being repeated (on the way to or from the main aim of the dive).

Bare Island has some many different types of marine life that help make it so special. One of these are sea horses. So far all the sea horses I have seen are big belly sea horses, but there is a possibility that some White's sea horses may be in the area. The sea horses are found in a number of different locations:
