Bancul istoric unde HMS Proselyte și-a găsit sfârșitul în 1801, acum un parc marin protejat cu ecosisteme de corali înfloritoare. Vârful recifului puțin adânc, la 6 metri, face loc canalelor nisipoase și crestele de corali care se extind până la 15 metri. Țestoasele verzi de mare, pisicile de mare sudice și pisicile de mare vargate sunt vizitatori obișnuiți ai acestui punct fierbinte de biodiversitate.
