Aquarium - Majuro Atoll
Aquarium, in Majuro Atoll, feels exactly as its name suggests: a massive fish tank you get to swim inside. We love how sheltered this reef is; it’s perfect for new divers finding their fins or for experienced folks who just want a relaxed dive with minimal fuss. Drifting over the coral at a comfortable 10-15 meters, you'll be surrounded by schools of Blackfin Chromis and Yellowstripe Wormfish. Look closer and you'll spot Honeycomb Groupers tucked into crevices. We've spent entire dives here just hovering, watching the drama unfold. The coral coverage is genuinely impressive, forming a dense, colourful backdrop for the constant parade of fish. Keep an eye out for the Mimic Surgeonfish, and if you’re lucky, a cruising Foxface. Visibility here is usually great, often 20 metres or more, making it easy to just soak in the sheer volume of life. It’s our favourite spot in Majuro for an easy afternoon dive when you want to see a lot without a lot of effort.
