The Runway

If you're the type of diver who loves underwater explorations, especially of the poking your nose (or camera) into crevices, fissures and gullies variety, then The Runway is a must do for you.

Here, you'll find fish swimming vertically along the vertical walls. It's quite an experience watching jacks, tuna, surgeonfish and fusiliers cascade down these walls, definitely something not to be missed.
