Flying Sea Cliffs

Flying Sea Cliffs, for us, is one of those sites that just feels… big. It’s hard to put your finger on it, but the scale of the place is impressive. We usually descend into a pretty good current, which we don’t mind; it means you’re essentially flying along a dramatic wall. Think sheer drops and overhangs, carved out of volcanic rock. The water here always has a kind of deep blue intensity that makes the fish colours pop. We love seeing the Big Long-nosed Butterflyfish, they’re just so elegant, drifting past the Pavona coral formations. And the Ambon Pufferfish always raises a smile, often just hanging out, unbothered. Keep an eye out for whitetip reef sharks too, they’re usually patrolling the deeper sections. We’ve found the best visibility tends to be in the mornings before the wind picks up, so an early start is always our pick here. It’s definitely a drift dive, so you need to be comfortable with a bit of current and have good buoyancy control, but the reward is a genuinely exhilarating dive that feels wild and untamed.
