Hakura Giri
★★★★☆
(100)
This Giri lies very protected in the inner atoll, north of Hakura Island, and therefore is usually free of currents. On the northwest side, the drop-off falls to 30 m.
Fusiliers, sweetlips, snappers, all kinds of perch, cod, groupers, and surgeonfish, as well as nudibranchs and cleaner shrimp. In open water, you might see tuna and white tip reef sharks.
