MODERATE
LEVEL :: DRIFT DIVE
This
dive is a great combination of soft corals, small fish, and action.
Begining on soft coral covered wall, and ending up at a
small corner, you will swim through schools of pyramid butterfly
fish and red snappers. The unusually marked square spot anthia
can also be seen in great numbers on the wall. At
the corner, you can hook onto the reef to watch the sharks
swim back and forth.
Siaes
Corner is perched on the edge of the Marianas Trench, and although
our maximum diving depth at the corner is about 90 feet (27
meters), the water here is so deep that
it's impossible to see the bottom - just
a
deep,
blue
abyss. Visibility
here is usually excellent, around 50 ~ 100 feet (
15 ~ 30 meters).
Other fish here include schools
of bonito, spanish mackerel, and hump head parrotfish. Turtles
are sometimes present and, on rare occassions, marlin can be
seen cruising in the deeper water off the reef.
