Facing the wide open ocean, the two island chains provide fantastic panoramic views of blue oceans and green islands dotted with azure lagoons. Here are excellent dive spots where divers will be amazed at the colorful underwater life, while on land, rows of coconut trees protect the soft white sand beaches.
