Takatuka Land is a mellow drift dive, perfect for newer divers in South Ari Atoll. We’ve found the reef slope to be full of colourful hard corals, with plenty of small reef fish darting around. Keep an eye out for whitetip reef sharks resting on the sandy bottom as you glide along. It’s a great spot to build confidence in a gentle current.
