Mathifaru Caves

★★★★★ (4)

Depending on the current, either we dive the wall or the caves from the same spot. Suitable for most levels. The top reef sits at around 6 metres, sloping to a wall that drops to around 30. Most of the dive is spent under the large overhangs where the main wall and ceilings are covered by yellow, soft corals.

Tuna, eagle rays, reef sharks and occasionally manta out in the blue. The common reef species like parrot fish, groupers, all the schooling fish and sometimes turtles are often spotted.
