Below the Surface
Kenting is home to some beautiful coral reefs, walls, and undersea pinnacles.
Hiding inside the vibrant coral are smaller fish of all kinds. You’re bound to see blue-spotted sting rays, green sea turtles, silver sweetlips, cuttlefish, and octopus. Keep an eye out for giant trevally; they’ll swoop in for a second and disappear just as quickly.
