[Sounds of waves lapping the seashore]

For the first time here in Ponta Malongane,

we eventually get to see a really pretty sunrise

over the actual bay.

What we decided to do today was head up to

one of Ponta Malongane's deeper reefs,

a reef called Three Sisters, which is about 2 kilometres

from the actual launchsite here at Ponta Malongane.

And it's one of those reefs that's, again,

not very big, but really just absolutely teeming with fish.

Big shoals of lieutenant sturgeons

just gathering amongst a cleaning station.

Then on the top of the reef, there is a small cave

which obviously when there is quite a big swell

as you can see, there is quite a surge that rushes though here

and this just seems to be the perfect sanctuary for

literally thousands of little juveniles.

And then just looking down this reef

you can see the true potential,

There's just every single fish in the book here:

there's goat fish, there's lemon fish, there's rock hard, there's king fish.

And I guess the highlights of this particular spot

is this very strange red anemone.

Why it's this red colour no-one really knows.

There's little pigments in the makeup of it

that gives it almost a glow.

But it's quite a rare find

and very impressive when you do come across them.

The devil fire fish.

This guy's just absolutely motionless.

A very aggressive fish, and they'll

definitely pick off any small unsuspecting fish that swims close by

One of the rock hards, this is the honeycomb rock hard

just laying up on one of the shelves.

And then another pair of clown fish,

fighting off some damsels, the little domino fish

trying to keep control over the anenome.

And then I found this massive, big Puffer fish,

possibly one of the biggest ones I've ever seen.

A fish that eats most of its meals on the kelp and the rocks

Two very well developed teeth that he has in his mouth

which he uses to pick off little morsels off the reef.

And here, just as we started our ascent,

just another quick glimpse of the

unbelievable volumes of fish that you find here
