Distance from the Resort: 30 min
Description: The reef, a steep wall reaching more than 30 m depth, presents
many caves in the area beetween 18 and 30 m, and nice
swimthroughs which you can explore one by one. Some of them
reach immense sizes in length and heigth.
Inside this caves you find yourself in another world. Take a torch
and explore the deep areas. Often we found sleeping napoleons in
the caves. 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.
Schools of fusiliers, anthias, big surgeonfish, wrasses and
butterflyfish are found around this wall. 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
experienced divers, especially with nitrox will have many
time to enjoy the deep
caves.
