Close Encounters

The English name of this dive site comes from our experiences with the fish life here. Something always turns up to make this dive memorable, be it a manta, eagle ray, whale shark, reef shark, a school of tuna, jacks, fusiliers, snappers, or other reef fish, or handful of small cleaner shrimp giving you a free underwater manicure. On the eastern side of this reef is a steep slope and drop-off: not only is the coral excellent here, it is also where the fish like to congregate, especially if there is a bit of current. To finish off your dive there are also splendid coral gardens at 3-5 metres, where it is easy and pleasant to do a long safety stop.
