Diving within the waters of the most beautiful lagoon in the world is on many divers’ “must do” list because of the abundance of large marine life.
It is common for divers to be joined by legions of gigantic manta rays gliding gracefully within arm’s reach while schools of black-tip reef sharks parade through the sunlit waters.
