Dive-site story
Located off Lighthouse Reef Atoll, this sheer drop-off transitions from a wide sand plain covered in seagrass into an abrupt vertical precipice. Divers glide through natural coral tunnels and swim-through channels carved into the reef crest before emerging onto an abyss draped with giant barrel sponges, black coral trees, and deep-water gorgonians.
Vast sand plateau colonised by dense colonies of garden eels and passing stingrays
Network of coral-lined tunnels and swim-throughs opening out over the vertical wall
Frequent flybys of pelagics along the deep blue drop-off edge
Massive yellow and azure vase sponges clinging to vertical limestone overhangs
