A short boat ride reaches Kuata Back Reef, a current-led wall dive that runs from the mooring line to the pickup point on either side of the reef. The wall is coral-heavy, with table, branching, and brain corals plus soft corals and anemones, and it suits divers who like a flexible drift profile, active reef life, and an easy-to-read route.
