Aquarius

Aquarius is one of those sites where you drop in and immediately feel like you’re part of something bigger. It’s usually a drift, and a fast one, so be ready to move. We love the vertical walls here, just absolutely plastered with corals that you don’t see in a lot of other places. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff clinging on – the Okapi Gobies are a personal favourite, incredibly camouflaged but worth the hunt. The real show, though, comes from the schooling fish. We’ve seen Black Surgeonfish in numbers that blot out the sun, and the way they move with the current is mesmerising. This site is definitely for experienced divers who are comfortable in strong currents and can keep their wits about them while everything rushes past. You’ll spend most of the dive looking out into the blue, hoping for a glimpse of something large, but don’t forget to check the cracks and crevices for Banded Jawfish and those shy Lesser Rock Shrimp. It’s a dynamic dive, full of energy, and always keeps you on your toes.
