About Hen and Chickens

Nomeado em homenagem a um aglomerado de pequenos afloramentos rochosos ao sul da ilha, este local apresenta pináculos rochosos dramáticos que se elevam de 20 metros até 5 metros da superfície. Fortes agregações de peixes giram em torno dos pináculos, incluindo bodiões-crioulos, cromis-azuis e sargentos-majores. O substrato rochoso suporta um crescimento impressionante de coral negro e leques-do-mar de águas profundas.
