Akahae
About Akahae
Akahae is a coral site with clusters of soft and hard corals around 20 m. The reef has shown signs of hard-coral recovery as of 2023 after past typhoon damage. Divers can find frogfish tucked into crevices, along with a wide mix of reef fish and passing schools of migratory fish. Strong tidal currents through nearby passages help concentrate marine life but require careful assessment of conditions.
