Dive-site story
Located off the northern coast of Green Island, this site is famous for a distinctive natural volcanic and coral rock formation that bears an uncanny resemblance to an Easter Island Moai head. Divers navigate across hard coral gardens and scattered boulder fields over sandy patches to reach the iconic head structure. Influenced by the warm Kuroshio Current, the area offers high water clarity and steady tropical reef fish activity.
Photogenic natural reef pinnacle shaped distinctly like a Moai statue
Expansive shallow coral gardens dominated by acropora and brain corals
Frequent encounters with foraging sea turtles resting along reef ledges
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Spring through autumn brings calm surface conditions, while winter brings the northeast monsoon which makes this northern coast diveable only during brief weather windows.
