Kiribati Underwater Photo Sites
Grapple Rocks was an expansive pinnacle which peaked at forty-five feet. A dive to sixty feet revealed boulders and rock formations with increasing coral density approaching the summit. Flame angels abounded, as well as rabbit, trigger and filefishes. Large anemones with delicate, lacy, pink-tipped tentacles could be seen, and dozens of juvenile three-spot damsels danced before their anemone hosts. A common encounter is inquisitive green, leather back, or hawksbill turtles.

Kiribati's Christmas Corner is the premier dive site in kiribati. With hundreds of schooling big eye trevally, barracuda, and several napoleon wrasses swimming within feet of divers. Even from the moment you do your back-roll off the boat you are surrounded by playful bottlenose dolphins who stay with you until you descend to the bottom of the ledge. This is definately a drift dive with a nice sloping wall that begins at 50ft. and descends to 90ft. Tons of nice caves to explore along the wall with spiny lobster and emperor angelfish hiding in the crevices. Reminds me of Palau's Blue Corner... Divers will come back year after year just to dive Christmas Corner.
