Is a small patch reef to the west of Agincourt Reef No 3, this reef can only be visited in the right conditions as it is weather prone. It is one of the Dive Instructors favorite dive sites, it needs good navigational skill by the dive tender master to find, but on calm days it is easy to see well before you get there by the large number of fish swimming close to the surface, the reason for the large numbers of fish is its isolation from other reefs.

Squall lines can quickly triple the amount of wind you’re dealing with and have the potential to do damage if you’re caught unprepared. Once the squall hits, preparation is over and it’s up to reactive seamanship skills. While your strategy should depend on many factors (your boat, sea conditions, proximity to land, etc.) here are a few things that are helpful in most circumstances: 1. Reduce sail area early. Considering dropping sails entirely depending on conditions. 2. Ensure the crew puts on proper gear such as Lifejackets, Foul weather jackets, tethers, etc. 3. Take note of where you are & where you were sailing to. Be aware of any nearby shoals or reefs. 4. Prepare for poor visibility. Turn on running lights, monitor VHF ch16, have an airhorn accessible, etc. What else would you add to this list?
