Maarikilu Caves

★★★★☆ (26)

nice drift dive first in a small bay and later on a steep wall. In the bay, sloping from 4 to 22m to then have a small dropoff. With a bit of luck you can see the wonderful manta rays passing by here from January to April.

huge groupers, perch, stingrays, napoleons, snails, lots of moray eels, shrimps, lobsters with colorful corals and a good chance of mantas from January to April
