Crazy Corals

Palmyra Atoll sits in the Northern Line Islands of the central Pacific, well south of Hawaii, and is administered as a US National Wildlife Refuge with very limited access. The atoll's reefs and passes surround a mix of natural and dredged lagoons, and diving there occurs mainly through scientific and conservation expeditions rather than commercial tourism. Crazy Corals is one of the named sites within this system, and divers there have reported plate and pillar coral formations along with reef fish such as bicolor chromis, bird wrasse, fivestripe wrasse, Pacific bullethead parrotfish, two-spot red snapper, and whitecheek surgeonfish.
