Hohola Thila

  • 958

Hohola Thila is a small Thila with an amazing rich underwater life. The highlights are the blue, red and orange frogfish and it is not unusual to see them swimming across the reef top. So keep your video ready. But also, the reef gives you plenty of other interesting things to discover, like a large group of batfishes.

You can dive the Thila as you like. For sure you will dive one time around it. At the east side you will find a coral block connected through a saddle with the main reef.
