Tanote Bay is one of the most diverse dive sites on the island. There are variety of corals, both hard and soft corals, including large Barrel Sponges, Boulder and Brain Corals which are safe home of many species of common reef fish. Look out for Butterfly fish, Angel fish, Anemone fish, sea turtles, stingrays, and hundreds of Yellow Tail Barracuda along with Titan Triggerfish. For macro lovers, this is a great area to look for pipefish, cleaner shrimp and spider crabs. If you find yourself in the shallows at the right time of year you can also catch some juvenile black tip reef sharks.
– A sunken catamaran, at 18 meters deep.
Located just off the main dive site, the Catamaran lies on sand sea and provides a home to a variety of different species. Look closely and may find a Jenkins Whipray resting underneath in the shade, a banded pipefish along the structure or a small frogfish hiding away in one of the nooks and crannies.
– Several artificial structures
Artificial concrete cubes with a large variety of coral and lots of marine life hidden away in the cracks and crevices. It’s always fun to have a little swim through if you have great buoyancy skill. Swim around in this area and you will see the special Reef balls and Coral nursery structures at a depth of around 10 meters.
