Hunga Magic
Drop into the water above a school of yellow goatfish that haven’t moved in years and swim through a nice valley with a large mound on your left. A single large gorgonians sways gently on your right before coming over the top of a ridge slowly so as not to disturb whatever might be on the other side. This varies from bat rays to large spotted grouper and turtles. A chimney to 26 meters (85-ft) entices and the holes at the base usefully have a good-sized resident. Swimming around the point the bottom drops away to send deeper than 67 meters (221-ft) and perfectly visible. The wall has good growth of white-stemmed purple soft and fire hard coral as well as a black coral bush. If you have a tendency to vertigo, check it out on this wall where it feels like floating in mid air. The return trip goes by a huge, blue brain coral and some outcropping’s covered with purple and gold soft corals. Another viewpoint gives the chance to hang over the edge. Returning to the boat boulders with swim though, gully’s and crevices offer lots of exploring possibilities.
