Cristo Rei

Also known as: Christo Rei · Front Side of Christo Rei · Cristo Rei of Dili · Jesus 1

Divers enter between the two car-park entrances of the statue and, at low tide, face a long walk over broken coral before the water deepens. Hard and soft corals cover the slope down to about 12 to 13 m, after which it turns into a sandy slope with huge whip corals. Shrimps, crabs and nudibranchs hide in the shallows, and Wikivoyage mentions a resident turtle, spotted rays and moray eels. Turtles, devil rays, eagle rays and whitetip reef sharks are among the bigger visitors. Wikivoyage praises the coral colours at night and warns of fishing nets and lines.
