The Zoo

Guides named this site for the crowd it draws, and on a running tide the label holds: whitetip reef sharks cutting between the heads, schools of surgeonfish and snapper stacked along the ridges, barracuda hanging up-current, and the occasional eagle ray gliding the sand breaks. The terrain is a series of coral ridges the flow combs like a hedgerow, soft corals open and feeding. It is a dive for keeping your head moving — the strait delivers traffic from every direction. Fish density varies with the tide phase more than the season, so trust the operator's timing over any calendar.

Momen yang Anda nantikan: Reef-shark and schooling-fish traffic on the tide; ridge-and-channel terrain; a reliable action counterpoint to the strait's coral walls.

Topografi: Current-swept coral ridges and heads with sandy breaks in the Somosomo Strait

Arus: One of the strait's fishier corners precisely because water moves through it.

Entri: Live-boat drift entry timed to the tide, like most Somosomo Strait sites.

Bahaya: Current strength varies dive to dive; separation is the main risk — stay on the guide's line.

Konservasi: Drifting divers cover ground fast — keep buoyancy dialed so the ridge tops pass beneath you, not against you.

Nitrox: Layak di sini — profil berada dalam rentang di mana nitrox secara nyata memperpanjang waktu tanpa dekompresi (dengan pelatihan yang sesuai untuk menggunakannya).
