Dive Sites - Highlights

The Outer Limits
For more advanced divers, The Outer Limits is highly recommended. For a start, the shallow reef wall is blanketed with Soft Corals, moving into the current there are large schools of Blue and Yellow Fusiliers, Surgeon Fish and Red Tooth Triggers. Of course it's always the bigger fish to look out for: Eagle Rays, White Tip Reef Sharks, Barracuda, Spanish Mackerel, Dog Tooth Tuna, and perhaps a Great Hammerhead Shark.
 
Shrimptastic
Another superb site for the experienced diver is Shrimptastic. Sitting just off Tokoriki Wall, this small pinnacle provides an unique dive for macro lovers. Corallomorphs, the most ancient of all corals, smother this small reef and Glass Fish are so thick that you are pushing them out of the way for a closer inspection of what has become one of the most fascinating sites.
 
Wilson's Point
Wilson's Point is great for those just starting out, due to its close proximity to land, shallow depth and sheltered location. All sorts of creatures can be found, including several species of ray (Marbled Ray, Blue Spotted Sting Ray), Short Nosed Pipe Fish and the exclusive and weird Marbled Snake Eel. Other than the sandy slopes divers can Spot Fin Lionfish, Cleaning Shrimps and whatever creatures they are cleaning.
