Wattabomi

Wattabomi trades Kichwani's wall for a white-sand boulevard: a slow, sunlit drift where coral bommies rise from the slope like roundabouts, each with its own tenants. Green turtles rest on the sand between them or drift up to breathe unbothered by their audience; blue-spotted ribbontail rays shuffle under ledges; garden-variety reef fish (sweetlips, snapper, batfish squadrons) gather in the lee of every head. The pace suits beginners, long shallow profiles, and photographers working turtle portraits with the sand as a reflector. On spring low tides the top of the slope doubles as one of the area's best snorkels.
