19. Sachiko's Point

Named after a Japanese tour operator who decided that this site was her favourite. You'll know why once you've dived at this spectacular wall. There is usually some current, but it is likely to bring in the bigger ones. When you go around the "corner" there can be a bit of a chilly upwelling, but at 25 degrees we think its still bearable. Common sightings are black and white tip shark, large tuna, jacks, turtles and rays. Hard coral growth is rich and soft coral growth is excellent. Exciting encounters with sea snakes are not rare, especially at shallower depths. It is the only site (so far) where on several occasions we have spotted hammer head sharks. Visibility varies from 20 to 35 metres, depending on the tides. Also good snorkelling.
