Kottefaru Kanmathi
★★★★☆
(676)
A very nice drift dive over several hundred meters along the island of Kottefaru. The top reef is made of hard corals that drop from 4 to 8m, sloping down to 15m, then a wall that drops far more than 30m. On the top reef between June and November the site becomes a cleaning station for mantas.
A lot of macro, lots of fish, Napoleon wrasse, turtles, gray reef sharks, silvertips, manta rays, and very rarely hammerheads! It’s a jackpot!!!
