Rasfari Corner

★★★★☆ (77)

Rasfari Corner, which is located directly at the channel mouth, ranges from 9 to 30 meters and is an interesting drift dive. During the dive you will make your way along the reef, explore rocks, little overhangs, coral blocks and maybe even the two deeper reefs off the main reef corner.

Rasfari Corner is known for a great chance to see big grey reef sharks, barracudas, eagle rays and schools of jack fish. It is an amazing dive site that is often visited by dolphins.

Huraa Etere (★4.4)

An easy dive site which is ideal for open water dives 3 and 4 OWD, but also offers nice macro stuff. You can find them at the mini wreck or the cargo that lies around the hull on the ground (16-19m). A little further out west (20m) we find a small thila.

Back Kani (★4.6)

Easy but always nice dive. The top of the reef drops down from 7m to 30/35m and then runs into the sand. Depending on the current, you simply dive the right or left shoulder. With a little luck, this dive site offers everything that makes diving exciting!
