Fare Coral Garden Snorkel (Avamoa)

16° 42.8′ S · 151° 2.7′ W

Clear water, healthy living coral and lots of small reef fish on the inner reef off Fare, between the Avamoa pass and the Ofaiorio moorings.

Practical

GPS 16°42.831'S 151°02.712'W, a cruiser-reported spot on Noonsite. Dinghy from Ofaiorio. Tow a surface buoy or flag: lagoon traffic is heavy near the passes. Watch the current near Avamoa (2 knots or more). No fins in the shallows, and do not stand on coral.
