Short boat dive to a shallow, fingered reef with easy navigation and lots of small life for relaxed dives.
About Fingers
Fingers is Tofo's shallow reef for easy, relaxed diving, with finger-like coral projections that make the route feel playful rather than technical. The site is small enough for new divers to stay oriented, but still holds enough macro life and ray action to keep the swim interesting. Plan it as a short boat dive for beginners or refresher teams, because the reef is shallow, easy to read, and best when the surf-launch timing is calm.
