Activities in Samarai Island
-
diving
Even if you don't climb the hill, you simply must go snorkelling or diving around the rotting piers of the Samarai Island Wharf, which has become a world-famous muck-diving site. The marine life is incredible and as you drift carefully between the piers you'll be surrounded by schools of brightly coloured fish. Below them, pipefish and various odd nudibranchs can be seen.
The bottom is also littered with the detritus of history, but don't be tempted to 'rescue' anything more than the rubbish. Be sure to bring a snorkel and mask.
