Bolifushi

Bolifushi always feels like one of those sites we could dive every day and still find something new. It’s a gentle drift along the outer reef, easy enough for newer divers but with enough nooks and crannies to keep the seasoned crew happy. The corals here are in surprisingly good shape, considering the boat traffic in the area, with some really impressive table corals stretching out like dinner plates. We often find ourselves spotting critters we don't see elsewhere. Keep an eye out for the Sunburst Butterflyfish – they’re a vibrant splash of yellow and orange against the deeper blue. We’ve also had some fantastic encounters with Bristle-toothed Surgeonfish, particularly a big school that seems to hang out near a cleaning station mid-reef. Our favourite part has to be the sheer volume of smaller life, from the shy Redlined Pygmygobies to the more obvious Bandcheek Wrasse zipping past. The currents here are generally mild, so you can really take your time and soak it all in. If you're into macro, bring a good torch and scan the overhangs; the odd Crown of Thorns Starfish might be hiding, but mostly it's tiny crabs and shrimps.
