Best for intermediate divers, 15-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
The Corner in Tonga features a varied underwater topography consisting of a reef, wall, and drop-off. Designed for intermediate divers, the site offers depths ranging from 15 to 30 metres with an average of 20 metres. Visibility typically spans 15 to 30 metres, allowing for clear observation of the structure. Divers should expect moderate currents and potential surge in shallower sections, which requires careful buoyancy control to maintain clearance from the reef. Access is exclusively by boat, and the site is suitable for year-round diving with water temperatures between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. Always deploy a surface marker buoy to account for boat traffic during ascent.

The surge can push you onto the reef on shallower sections of the wall, so maintain buoyancy control and keep a fin's length of clearance at all times. Check locally for current boat operators and up-to-date conditions before heading out.
