Verde Island Drop Off

Verde Island Drop Off. What a rush. We love this site for its sheer intensity, a genuine wall of coral and fish that just doesn’t quit. It’s not a gentle drift, often, the current here can be a serious push, so don’t show up tired. But that current is exactly why the place explodes with life. Drop down to five metres and then just let the wall fall away beneath you, into the deep blue. The corals here are dense, layered on top of each other, making every crack and crevice a home. Look for the bright flashes of Diana's Hogfish darting amongst the fans, or the curious gaze of a Saddled Rockcod tucked into an overhang. We've often seen schools of Blue-lined Tang moving like a unified silver cloud along the wall. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, the tiny Striped Catfish weaving over the coral heads. It’s a site for experienced divers who appreciate a lively drift and want to be absolutely surrounded by the vibrant chaos of a healthy reef.
