Whalebone is a dive site in the heavily protected South Muiron Conservation Area. Fishing is not permitted here and public moorings are provided for recreational visitors to help protect the area from anchor damage.
This area is exposed to the swell and waves of the Indian Ocean meaning few branching corals grow here. The reef is as a consequence dominated by colourful soft corals and hard plating and massive (boulder) corals.
