Kuredu Caves, also known as the Green Turtle Airport, is famous for its large populations of green sea turtles - with over 45 individuals known to permanently reside in the area and even more visiting.
This dive site has a series of overhangs, starting at 8m down to 25m, where the turtles rest. You can stop and watch the turtles leaving their resting spots, coming up for air, drifting past and then ‘landing’ with precision. The ceilings of the overhangs are covered in soft coral and solider fish can be spotted swimming upside-down, along with the porcupine fish, lion fish, moray eels, leaf fish and scorpion fish who have made these overhangs their home. Stingrays and Napoleons can be spotted on the deeper ledges and in the blue reef sharks often circle while eagle rays cruise by.
