Wakatobi Scuba Diving

Cornucopia

Cornucopia, the 'horn of plenty'. Not named after a guy who looks good in his wetsuit, but a reference to the steady current that supplies a rich, planktonic menu to a dazzling array of multi-hued coral and its residents.

This Wakatobi diving site has a varied topography with walls, ledges and overhangs. Only when the current is very slight is there time to nose around, as usually you will drift at a reasonably leisurely pace along a great stretch of reef. Watch the changing vista of amazing hard and soft corals in oranges, yellows and purples.

All the usual coral fish suspects are here as well as the odd pelagic. Whitetips, nurse sharks, eagle rays and mobula rays are also known to swing by. There is more colour than any artist's palette - can you cope here at Cornucopia?
