Adara Bay
Depth: 5-40m
Centerpiece of Atauro west coast diving. A sandy slope leads into walls dropping toward the Wetar Strait, with rich sponge gardens and dense hard coral cover.
Secret Garden
Depth: 8-25m
A small but superb sponge garden with resident colonies of photogenic purple anthias and silvery glassfish. Compact, colorful, and excellent for slow diving.
Whale Shark Wall
Depth: 10-35m
A dramatic vertical wall on the edge of the Wetar Strait. Deep water close to shore creates the conditions that occasionally bring larger pelagics through.
