Features:
|
- Upolu Reef resembles the shape of the Mediterranean Sea that staff instruct divers to "Sail in through the Straits of Gibraltar, then dive and snorkel the Suez Canal and the depths of Dakar or drift the Casablanca Coast."
- Ideal for introductory dives and snorkelling due to its shallow depths
- Giant clams and a great range of hard and soft coral adorn the lagoon
- Clams are mainly brownish, green and blue, the smaller ones tend to be more iridescent turquoise, blue and green
- See staghorn, plate, brain and boulder coral
- A small whitetip shark or turtle may explore the lagoon with you
- Look for blue spotted ray resting in the sand with sea cucumbers
