Giants Castle Dive Site
Distance to Travel: 9km
Depth: 26 - 33 meters
Max: 33 meters
Bottom Time: 21 minutes


Time of Travel:
20 minutes

Visibility: 10 to 30m

Nitrox: EanX 35

General: A 6-7 metre tall wall running for two kilometers. The wall drops from 26 to 33 metres and runs North/South with the predominant current. When conditions are right this is a fantastic dive and often overlooked by divers who know of the more famous Manta Reef.

The crenellated wall is inhabited by Giant Potato Bass (hence the name) and features several Manta cleaning stations. Although only ten minutes journey from the dive center this is definitely a pelagic dive. A proliferation of game fish: Great Barracuda, Kingfish, Pick Handle Pike as well as various rays (Manta, Eagle, Devil) Bowmouth Guitar Sharks, and, uniquely in Tofo, Blue Marlin.

This is an advanced drift dive with potentially strong and sometimes reverse currents and as such, is only suitable for advanced divers who have mastered the negative entry. However, the memory of a descent through schools of Barracuda onto a cleaning station while Devil Rays circle above is unforgettable. Highly recommended. Ask about nitrox.
