Off the eastern end of Mbulo Island, Begho is another massive point extending forever underwater. When the moon and currents are right, it is arguably the busiest marine life dive I have ever been on. Jacks, tunas, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, tangs, ocean triggers, long spine unicorns rush hither and yon, while gray reef, white tip, and black tip reef sharks zoom in and out of the busy thoroughfare. We find a spot and get comfortable and squeeze every second of bottom time we can as we ease our way up the slopes, knowing we will be well entertained by unusual squirrels and wrasses, sparkling diamond jacks and hosts of others on our long safety stop.
