Shark nursery
Bumphead Parrotfish
Situated off the sparsely populated west coast of Rendova Island, the Haipe reefs are in incredible condition. Huge areas of pristine hard corals along the reef-tops play host to swarms of colourful small fish and provide a feeding ground for big schools of Bumphead Parrotfish, whilst slightly deeper soft corals, fans and whip corals provide a beautiful background for regular Grey Reef shark encounters, plus the occasional visit from Silvertip or Hammerhead sharks. Turtles are often sighted here, and the keen-eyed will find a fantastic variety of crustaceans and molluscs. Plus, from June to September, the reefs usually play host to juvenile Grey Reef sharks, with anything up to 60 or so perfectly formed foot-long sharks schooling over the coral!
