The coral reef on the other hand is not deep and you can rub against it in several places; to avoid. Visibility there was good without being exceptional during a visit in December 2005. A relatively large swell made diving a little more difficult (risk of clashing with corals, drifting offshore). Lots of fish but usually alone, no schools. A turtle was walking slowly and it was easy to observe it for long minutes. The trumpet fish also offered an interesting spectacle with their color changes.
