tinwana dekunu kandu

overview, location                                     

 

Depth:  5 -30 m


Fish Live: grey reef sharks possible when ingoing current; whitetip reef sharks, eagle rays, napoleons, schools of fusiliers and jacks, some tunas and snappers at the corner


Coral Growth: at very end of the channel you’ll find a nice coral garden; the slopes of the channel are average


North-east monsoon season mostly ingoing current, reef to the left; with strong current it’s possible to see grey reef sharks at the channel edge (30 m); don’t go to far along the edge, as sometimes it’s not easy to get back to reef slope, as you have a counter-current; a gentle reef slope is leading into the channel which becomes more a wall in the back; at the end of channel you’ll find a nice coral garden


Safety: Advise the divers, that they can't surround the corners as they are too far away, mark the exits for the divers.
