#2 Magic Passage

Location: Between Krangket and Lepa Island. How to get there: 5min by boat from the Madang Resort. Max Depth: 30m plus How: Drift

Descending into the depth of the passage, you gently glide past excellent coral growth, both hard and soft. The passage reaches its final depth at about 115ft. As soon as you reach the bottom you notice that you are surrounded by shy garden eels that shy away when you see them. Looking around you, you notice groups of sweetlips that are huddled together facing the incoming tide.

Lying on the ocean floor, one can now truly understand why it is called the Magic Passage. As if being transported to a magical garden, you may feel small in comparison to the Titans of Coral structures, in a place where time ‘does’ stop.
