Admiral 3

This dive site, Admiral 3, is located on the North side of Rannalhi, situated on the outside reef within a channel. It features a stunning wall that begins at a manageable depth of 7 meters and dramatically drops off to 28 meters. Navigation typically involves following the wall, likely as a drift dive due to its channel location, offering dynamic underwater experiences. No specific history or story behind its name is provided. The site is renowned for its excellent opportunities to encounter large pelagic species, particularly in the channel entry. Divers have a high chance of spotting white-tip reef sharks and stingrays on the sandy bottom, with eagle rays frequently cruising by. Lucky divers might also encounter nurse sharks in the south-east lagoon's bomie or exploring the east cave, indicating a rich and diverse marine ecosystem. The best time to visit Admiral 3 for its big fish encounters is generally during periods of incoming currents, which bring nutrient-rich waters and attract larger marine life. Divers should be prepared for potentially strong currents in the channel. For freedivers, the wall starting at 7 meters and the maximum depth of 23 meters (average 11 meters) make it an ideal site for exploring the reef and observing pelagics with good visibility.
