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.

Khoảnh khắc bạn đến vì nó: Incoming-tide drift through the marine park's main channel; grouper and hunting jacks

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

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

Nguy hiểm cần lưu ý: Strong tidal current and mid-channel boat traffic at the pass mouth.

Giấy phép & quy định: Marine-park daily fee applies.

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

Nitrox: Đáng dùng ở đây — các hồ sơ nằm trong khoảng độ sâu mà nitrox có thể kéo dài thời gian không dừng một cách thực sự có ý nghĩa (khi đã được đào tạo sử dụng).
