Keep your eyes peeled during your dive, as you may spot emperor fish, batfish, midnight snappers, and various species of schooling snappers and rainbow runners. Exciting encounters with feeding turtles, cruising eagle rays, whitetip sharks, and tunas are known to happen on occasion, adding to the thrill of exploring Max Climax.
