OOKOLHU FARU
★★★★★
(266)
The dive site itself actually consists of two dive sites that are divided by a sandy plateau at 8 meters. South of the plateau we can find a large lagoon with an average depth of about 12 meters. On the other side towards the north and north west a sloping and long reef called faru ranges from 10 to 30 meters.
Nice corals, mantas during the season, a lot of glass fish blocks, turtles, shrimps, moray eels and many other tropical reef fish.
