About this Dive Site
Description
Embark on an exhilarating drift dive through The Mtsamboro Pass, where strong currents create a dynamic underwater highway. Keep an eye out for large pelagic visitors like tuna and barracuda, and perhaps even a pod of playful dolphins, as you glide over a stunning mosaic of hard and soft corals.
