Cathedral
Near the southeastern aspect of Marovo Lagoon lies Mbulo Island—and one of the most ethereal dive sites you can fathom. This meandering series of cracks, crevices, and caverns may not look like much upon first glance, but add in a some bright sunlight, and you’ll find yourself bathed in dancing, darting rays. Best of all, this site is shallow, so you’ll have plenty of time to try out different exposures to capture the sharpest cathedral light. The site has four unique caverns, some larger than others, and the intensity and direction of the light rays will alter notably during the hour-plus you’ll be in the water, so be sure to keep moving so you can explore each one; this will also give your fellow divers lots of opportunity to view and photograph each area. Bring strobes if you like, but with ambient light this gorgeous, you may never switch them on.
