Mbigo Mbigo (★4.5)

So good they named it twice! This site is a 45-minute boat ride with a spectacular reef featuring gullies and canyons among the coral. This site is also interesting for snorkelers as the reef formations in the first 10m are out of this world. Divers drop down to 25m and follow the wall for plenty of pelagics.
