Flying Fish Wall
Dive site
Named for the flying fish schools that leap from the surface above while you drift the wall below. The vertical wall drops 40 metres from 5 metres to a white sand floor. From March to June, dense flying fish schools shadow the dive from above, attracting mahi-mahi and tuna that flash in from the blue.
