Perfect forDiscover Scuba Divers,Students,snorkellers and certified divers. White sandy gutters are flanked by encrusted reefs teeming with coulourful coral fish and even some WWII artefacts! As this reef drops to around 30m it is also good for experienced divers. The wreck dive Semle lies off from this site.

Ever Been to the Vatican?No, then come and see the next best thing, The Cathedral at Pango Point. A great underwater cavern opens into the surrounding reef. Shafts of sunlight stream down creating heavenly effects. You can almost hear the Organ music as you ascend through the chimney and into a shallow rock pool inside the reef itself.The return journey to the reef and the "Big Blue" finishes of a truly beautiful dive.

konanda1

A 45 metre ship, formerly an island trader which also in earlier times worked around ports in New Zealand, she was badly damaged by Cyclone Uma in 1987. Later the Konanda was made “safe” and sunk as a dive wreck. An excellent wreck for your first wreck dive or for the wreck dive addict. Sitting uptight on a sandy bottom in 26 metres, still intact, the Konanda is a wreck diver’s delight. Safe penetration is possible into the holds, cabin and bridge areas, making it a fun dive.

Semle

An Inter Island Trading Cargo Vessel, deliberatley sunk for divers in 1985 in approx 30m.Cyclone Uma in 1987 moved the wreck to it's present location.The depths and sometime current means a disciplined dive plan must be followed. After spending time on the wreck we dive into the nearby reef for an excellent multi level dive with max bottom time. The clarity of the water is a main feature of this dive with viz reaching 30 to 40 m.
