Lekuan three, two and one
Lekuan 3 is
the first (or the last depends from what side you start counting)
of a fascinating strectch of wall. It is so long that is has been
divided into three parts, but our opinion is that it could have
been easily 7 or 8 parts.This absolute
"world class" dive spot has all the ingredients that
also make up the park;
Big pelagics as tuna, jacks and sharks at Lekuan 1. Turtles, rays
and Napoleon wrasse at Lekuan 2. Huge schools of batfish and midnight
snapper at lekuan 3. Butterfly fishes, fusiliers, sweetlips, angelfishes,
basslets, you name it - it is there. Overhanging clifs, caverns,
niches and all covered richly with corals, anemones, sea fans,
featherstars and sponges.
Great snorkelling also at the reef flat, with lots of macro stuff.
Lekuan 3 and 2 are normally mild with currents, but Lekuan 1 can
at times be a real challenge.
