Seen from the surface,this island resembles a hat. Its profile makes the name Sombrero appropriate. The rim of the "hat" stretches a long way underwater from north to south. Gorgonians,black coral,shells,turtles,rays,grunts,jacks,snappers,and a great variety of soft corals are scattered all over the place. Currents are normally strong during the full moon.
