    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Langarana is a solid wall dive, about 50 minutes from Munda, and it's where we often send divers looking for some proper soft coral. At 26 meters maximum depth, you’ve got time to take it all in. The wall itself is just plastered with these huge gorgonian sea fans and a really nice spread of soft corals that move with the surge. Keep an eye out for banded sea kraits exploring the crevices, and we’ve often spotted dusky-capped parrotfish munching away. It’s a good spot if you appreciate vibrant coral structures and don't mind a boat ride.
