About this Dive Site
Description
Sherwood Forest, located off the coast of Tofo Beach, lives up to its name with an incredible density of vibrant green tree corals. This unique dive site is a macro photographer's paradise, where keen eyes can spot elusive nudibranchs, camouflaged leaf scorpionfish, and a fascinating variety of tiny shrimp. The intricate coral structures create a magical, almost alien landscape to explore.
