Arrecifal

Arrecifal, for us, is all about the little things, the stuff you only spot when you slow right down. We love the feeling of drifting over that low-lying reef, spotting big groups of Canary Damsels flitting amongst the rocks, their electric blue almost glowing. Keep an eye out for the Orange Ball Corallimorphs too, they’re really distinctive against the volcanic rock. This site is a great spot for macro photographers or anyone who just enjoys a relaxed poke around. We've often seen greater weevers tucked into the sand, so watch where you put your hands, but equally, we've had cowfish glide right past us, utterly unconcerned. If you're lucky, a loggerhead turtle might cruise by, but it’s the smaller wrasses, the sharpnose puffers, and the occasional bird-eye conger peeking out that really make Arrecifal a standout. Go early for the best light, it really brings out the subtle colours of the reef.
