Waiwiri Rock - Bay of Islands

Alex Place in Tayrona offers a relaxed dive, often calm enough for newer divers or those looking for an easy second tank. You’ll find healthy hard corals here, with plenty of small reef fish flitting between them – think parrotfish, damselfish, and a good chance of seeing moray eels tucked into crevices. It's a solid, unpretentious site, good for knocking off some bottom time without too much fuss.
