Remote seamount 45 nautical miles south of Pico Island, rising from 1,000 m depth to a peak at 35 m. Considered one of the best dive sites in the world for its near-guaranteed aggregations of sicklefin devil rays (Mobula tarapacana) and giant oceanic mantas. Day-trip expeditions only in summer, heavily weather-dependent.
