Apolima Gardens

Apolima Gardens ranks 3rd on the list of the best places to scuba dive in Samoa. This dive location is a technicolor coral garden located just 70 meters off Apolima Island. The Apolima Gardens, which start at 8 meters and plummet to 40 meters, are home to lobsters, unicornfish, reef sharks, bluefin trevally, and marine turtles.

This dive site is home to a plethora of beautiful corals and rugged reefs, as well as a plethora of healthy reef fish, including big schools of butterflies, parrots, and sweetlips darting beside you, and many clownfish defensively guarding their anemones. Besides, you can also paddle over architectural coral bommies, keeping a lookout for green turtles and rays, which are frequently observed here. Those with a keen eye can quickly spot nudibranchs, anemone shrimps, and coral crabs attempting to blend into their surroundings due to the coral diversity.
