About Balolo Reef
Balolo Reef is a short boat ride from the island group, with a reef wall and coral gardens that keep the dive interesting without making it technical. It suits scuba and calm-day freediving more than a rushed action dive, with the best payoff in coral structure and reef fish along the drop-off.
