Putahataha Island
★★★★★
(275)
Rocky kelpy reef in 10m of water on the inward side of the island leads out to 18-25m towards the seawards side as one circumnavigates the island. An underwater cavern is a main feature of this dive, approximately 5m wide at the entrance.
The effects of the rahui are evident in the multitudes of big snapper, reef fish, mottled, mosaic and yellow moray and many more. Large packhorse crayfish and nudibranchs are also seen
