About Makawide
Excellent coral growth in the shallows, with a wall like Nudi Retreat. Makawide includes a very rich and abundant array of life. This is an excellent site for pygmy seahorses and nudibranchs, with very good snorkelling opportunities, though it is subject to strong currents, being more exposed than Nudi Retreat. When you are at the ocean floor, try sticking your hand into the black sand and you will be able to feel the heat produced by the volcanic activity!

Dive Site Hazards

  • Navigation Ambiguity — Lack of reference points makes exits harder to relocate.

  • Unnoticed Depth Drift — Featureless terrain can cause slow, unnoticed depth changes.

  • Camouflaged Hazardous Species — Hazardous marine life may remain unnoticed until very close.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.
