Aquarium

★★★★☆ (404)

The Aquarium is a lovely fringing reef on the east side of Havelock Island. It is mostly protected from the easterly winds, so the surface conditions are normally calm and the visibility is almost always great.

A sloping coral reef gives way to sand on which some very cryptic and interesting macro sightings are on offer. Mild currents can make the dive very interesting.
