Diver's Notes

Kador Bay can be an amazing drift dive, if the current is right. The dive could fly us out of the the bay and around the corner of Coral Island creating an amazing experience.

As we look out of the Blue Lagoon (also called Mangrove Bay) of Coral Island, we find Kador Bay on the right side of the lagoon. This spot is fantastic for our second dive and lets us glide along the rocks which are sloping down to about 19m.

The general dive plan is to dive down to the end of the plateau were we can find big green moray eels and stone fish hiding in the small overhanging ledges. As we drift down along the 20m line, we encounter barracudas and turtles quite frequently. After about 20 minutes we will have to start going back to the shallow reefs to finsih off our dive around coral covered rock boulders. Many times we get surprised by the size of the coral lobster whcih we see here or by the occasional napolean wrasse swimming by.
