Outside

Outside always feels like a proper Komodo dive, the kind that wakes you up and reminds you where you are. We love the wall here, which blends into a steep slope, all carved from limestone. It’s a site for those who appreciate a bit of a thrill; the currents can be serious, often demanding a negative entry. But that’s precisely what pulls in the big stuff. We’ve seen white tips and black tips cruise by, unbothered, along with eagle rays making lazy passes. Dogtooth tuna and yellowfin tuna are common, always exciting to spot darting past in the blue. The schooling jacks and fusiliers are often so thick they can obscure your buddy for a moment, a fantastic, swirling curtain of silver. Keep an eye out for leatherback sea turtles, though they are shy, and we’ve occasionally spotted lobsters tucked into crevices. Visibility averages 13 metres, which is decent enough for the scale of marine life you’re watching. For divers who enjoy a dynamic drift and want to see pelagic action, Outside delivers.
