About Midnight Snapper Run
Midnight Snapper Run is a Maratua boat dive built around a steep wall that drops into a sandy plateau. The best line is to keep the wall on your left as you move along the drop-off, which makes the route easy to read but still demands attention. Coral patches and open-water fish life give the site shape, while stingrays and reef sharks keep the bigger-marine-life appeal high. Plan it with a local operator and expect a controlled but active wall profile.
