About this site
This dive site off Orchid Island features a stunning coral garden teeming with tropical fish, sea turtles, and occasional reef sharks. The sloping reef transitions into a dramatic wall, with visibility often exceeding 30 meters. Strong currents attract pelagic species, making it ideal for drift diving. The volcanic rock formations create unique swim-throughs and overhangs. Warm waters and vibrant marine biodiversity make this a must-dive spot in the Pacific.
