    CharacterReef dive

    Anemone City, true to its name, delivers on the anemone front. We're talking large patches of them, often Sebae Anemones, swaying gently on the reef plateau. It’s a good spot to really slow down and watch the resident clown surgeonfish darting in and out, or maybe a shy Candelamoa Parrotfish chewing on the coral nearby. Keep an eye out into the blue too, because while they're not a daily occurrence, we’ve had some fantastic encounters with various dolphin species here, and even the occasional whale shark cruising by. It’s a comfortable, relatively shallow dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with plenty to observe.
