Furana North
A classic channel dive with a narrow thila whose eastern point faces the ocean. Divers usually enter on the outer reef and drift into the channel, where pelagics such as dogtooth tuna, giant trevally and barracuda hunt fusilier schools, and grey and whitetip reef sharks ride the current. The southern wall has caves and overhangs with nurse sharks and turtles.
