At Hol Chan, enter the shallow waters at 4 feet and make our way towards the channel, surrounded by schools of sergeant majors, snappers and jacks. Occasionally, a gigantic sea turtle can be found feeding peacefully on the splendid green sea bed. The channel is approximately 30 feet deep. As we approach the deeper end, look out for the heavy weights dog-toothed snappers and elegant eagle rays – they like to hang out around here. Swim across the channel and there is a trough which drops 15 feet down – test your free diving skills here if you must. Before returning to the boat, be sure to look out for the green moray eels – they move swiftly in the waters!

At Shark Ray Alley, the water is approximately 8 feet in the area. While you get surrounded by the nurse sharks coming to the surface for their chum, don’t forget to look beneath you. The rays will be swimming at the seabed, feeding off the scraps dropped by the nurse sharks. At the Captain’s Choice, you will get an opportunity to discover corals in more vibrant colors and a new range of reef systems apart from those in Hol Chan.
