Boat access and current timing make local operator support the normal way to dive the site.
Kusu East Two Coconut is a boat dive off the north-east of Kusu Island, marked by two coconut palms and known for a varied reef landscape that opens up even more as you move east. Coral blocks, soft and hard corals, and gorgonian growth create the backdrop for blacktip reef sharks, humphead parrotfish, titan triggerfish, and other reef life, while current can tighten enough that the best dives are planned rather than improvised.
