Mosquito Island Reef
★★★★☆
(33)
This uninhabited islet offers a superb diving spot, particularly around its multi-headed pinnacle, with depths typically around 15 meters. While it has faced closures for reef recovery, it generally provides clear waters and diverse underwater topography.
Soft and hard corals. Expect a variety of colorful reef fish, schooling sweetlips and barracudas. Blacktip reef sharks are commonly seen, along with moray eels.
