Profile and sections
The dive begins in open ocean, where emperor angelfish guard the entrance and moorish idols cling to the walls and ceiling. Then it gets dark: the only light comes from the entrance behind you, until you surface at the back in the bubble, a chamber full of stalactites. The katuali, Niue's sea snakes, lay their eggs here, and outside you sometimes see whales.
Practical: only with the local dive operator.
