Barracuda Point
This small, uninhabited island is a waypoint between the Russell Islands and Marovo Lagoon, but it’s far from a boring stopover. Just adjacent to the most common mooring area (a great dive site of its own called Mary’s Bommies), Barracuda Point is a submerged, current-swept peninsula that juts into the ocean. Enormous schools of jacks and chevron barracuda are commonly seen here, and a variety of sharks often patrol nearby, but shooters should be prepared to see almost anything—mobula rays, sperm whales, or even orcas.
This site is extremely weather dependent and conditions must be appropriate to dive here.
