Embudu Channel
★★★★☆
(158)
This is a marine protected area because of the population of grey reef and white tip sharks it supports. The dive starts on the south side of the channel and then sinks down to the edge of the last “step” around 30m.
Grey reef sharks, white tip reef sharks, napoleon wrasse, eagle rays, dog tooth tunas, leopard sharks, stingrays, and turtles (green & hawksbill) are all seen here.
