About South Tala

The southern point of Tala island is characterized by steep rocky walls and sometimes quite a strong surge. The dive is more than worth it though, with lots of small fish on top, interesting invertebrate life on the walls and lots of larger fish somewhat deeper. Enormus schools of surgeon fish sometimes make it difficult to see anything else since they cover the entire view. If you manage to look away from these creatures you'll see plenty of large angry-looking bohar, snappers, whitetip reefshark and sometimes other sharks and huge groupers further down among the bolders.
