At least, you can dive at more than 20 dive points based on the certification you have. For example, if you have an advanced certificate you can try out locations similar to the wall in Latondu. There are also those that can be enjoyed by all types of certification, such as Corina Corner, Fujiyama, Pinky Fish, and Ibel Orange. Another advantage that Taka Bonerate National Park has is that it is the third atoll (coral reef) area in the world, after the Marshall Islands and the Maldives.
