dive center crew member, Bonnet’s
corner is a dive site only for the
macro enthusiasts. The site consists
of a broad sand plain. There are
some sparse grasses, small basins
but no corals to speak of. But the
sandy indents in the reef sometimes
hold surprises like hairy frogfish and
juvenile sweetlips.
The guide will usually move
slowly through the shallows here
and look for any sign of movement.
That’s because this site has some
very special critters like mimic
octopus, wonderpus, blue-ring
octopus and mototi octopus that
just peek above the sand floor. They
can be very elusive, so move slowly
and watch carefully to see these
special and somewhat dangerous
creatures. Both blue ring and mototi
are considered quite poisonous.
Other creatures like flamboyant
cuttlefish, snake eels and frogfish
can also be found.72) Banca Wreck

Location: North Dauin
Depth: 15-100 ft. (5-30m)Two sites sit pretty much side by
side, the Banca Wreck and the Car
Wreck, and are great for seeing the
many odd and unusual critters that
this area has to offer. The first is a
sandy plain leading to a slope.
Down the slope at 70 ft. (21m) are
the remnants of a large banca boat.
