    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Angels Window on Bukabuka Island is a relaxed wall dive that offers a pleasant experience without being overly challenging. The main draw is a small opening in the reef, about 6 metres down, that lets sunlight stream through – it really does create a bright, ethereal window effect. We often see schooling purple anthias here, along with various butterflyfish picking their way across the corals. Keep an eye out for dogtooth tuna or jacks cruising past in the blue. It’s a good spot for a second dive, maxing out at 18 metres, and the visibility is usually excellent, around 29 metres.
