Kahonee Reef
Kahonee is another stretch of the mother reef, typically a shallower site with plenty of marine life from Christmas tree worms, to turtles! Brilliant sponges litter this reef, undulating coral that slopes down to sandy fingers where you can find lobster, purple spotted moray eels, nurse sharks, and much more. Perhaps this explains why Kahonee is a favorite amongst the D2O dive leaders. See the above photo of the small hawksbill turtle named “squirt” by D2O dive crew who is often found on this site. This is a must see site for all reef lovers.
Dive Master Notes
If necessary there is a mooring line available on this site, which sits in 12m/40ft to the sand. This is usually a comfortable shallow free decent into 10m/33ft to the edge of the reef, just off the sandy mooring patch. At this point the dive leader may choose to drift with the current usually east to west or swim perpendicular to the outer edge of the reef where it slopes off to a max 18m / 60ft. This reef is suitable for all levels of diving experience.
