A vibrant dive site off Aorangi Island, this rocky reef teems with marine life. Schools of snapper and trevally swirl around the boulders, while eagle rays glide overhead. The clear Pacific waters offer excellent visibility, often exceeding 20 meters. Colorful sponges and soft corals cover the rocks, creating a thriving ecosystem. Currents can be moderate, making it ideal for intermediate divers. Watch for curious octopus hiding in crevices. The shallow sections near 10 meters are perfect for beginners, while deeper areas reach 25 meters for more experienced divers.
