Distance from the Resort: 50 min
Description: The reef, a steep wall reaching more than 30 m depth, presents
many caves of all shapes and sizes, and nice swimthrough, which
you can explore one by one to find as many species of marine life
as you wish. The wall is encrusted with sponges of all colors, in
turn covered by bunches of soft corals of all sizes, tunicates,
crinoids and colorful algae. Also hard corals present a wide variety
of shapes and colors, many with visible tiny polyps beautifully
open in the current. Schools of fusiliers, anthias, big surgeonfish,
wrasses and butterflyfish dominate the barrier, while you will spot
large stingrays and pufferfish resting inside the caves. Also look there for turtles, napoleons and
stonefish! Facing the outside of the atoll, this dive offers good
chance to see pelagic life passing by: reef sharks, eagle rays, barracudas, tunas.
Level: The dive is affordable by
everybody. Beginners can
enjoy the upper part of the wall, while more
expert divers will explore
the depths.
