Chole Reef South
★★★★☆
(139)
The reef starts at around 5 m and descends to 17 m, ending with sand and coral rubble where it is common to see scavenging titan triggerfish. We regularly see giant reef rays just a couple of meters of the reef resting on the rubble.
Chole reef is a startlingly rich tapestry of corals enveloped in clouds of colorful damsels, fusiliers, butterfly, angel, and parrotfish. Turtles are common in the shallows.
