Grottes du Tahara

Grottes du Tahara isn’t about huge pelagics, it’s about the feeling of being somewhere secret. We love the way the light filters in through the cave entrances. It casts these incredible blue shafts that illuminate the ceiling. Look closely and you’ll spot Red Squirrelfish tucked into crevices. They just hang there, their big eyes reflecting your torch beam. We've seen dusky farmerfish darting in and out of the shadows and the occasional Arc-eye Hawkfish perched on a coral head, keeping a lazy watch. The current here is usually pretty mild. It makes for an easy drift into the main chamber, though we always suggest checking conditions with your local guide. It's a great spot for photographers keen on playing with light and shadow, or divers who just appreciate a more intimate, less frantic experience. Bring a good torch. It really enhances the colours inside.
