    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Giovannis Point sits in a channel between two islands, about a 20-minute boat ride northeast from Nabucco Spice Island Resort. Expect currents here, often quite strong, which keep things moving and bring in a decent amount of fish life. We’ve seen blacktip reef sharks cruising the edges and schools of grunts and yellowtail fusiliers swirling past. The coral garden is quite pretty, with some impressive table corals and barrel sponges, and there’s a small cave to poke around in. Maximum depth is 25 meters, and visibility usually hovers around 22 meters. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with a bit of a push, offering a nice mix of reef architecture and pelagic encounters.
