Kinasi Pass

Kinasi Pass is the artery of Mafia Island Marine Park. On the incoming tide, clean ocean water pours through the gap into Chole Bay and the pass becomes a conveyor: divers drift over coral terraces while grouper hold their stations, barracuda and trevally hunt the funneled baitfish, turtles angle across the flow, and ribbontail rays hug the sand below. The coral on the walls stays remarkably intact for a working channel. Timing is everything — the outgoing tide dumps green bay water and is avoided — and on spring tides the ride is quick enough to demand attention. The park's signature dive, in every sense.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Incoming-tide drift through the marine park's main channel; grouper and hunting jacks

टोपोग्राफी: Channel walls and coral terraces funneling oceanic water into Chole Bay

करंट: The main tidal gate of Chole Bay; dived on the incoming tide and planned around slack windows.

खतरे: Strong tidal current and mid-channel boat traffic at the pass mouth.

परमिट और नियम: Marine-park daily fee applies.

संरक्षण: Inside the marine park; drift, don't grip — the channel coral takes decades to replace.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
