Kapalai Dive Resort is a perennial favorite of romance.
People love to get married here, and those who are already
married prefer have their honeymoons or renew their pledges
here. That is one of the reasons the place remains booked
most parts of the year.
The resort consists of fifty spacious chalets made
of wood, each with a perfect ocean view and enough privacy.
Kapalai is an excellent site for macro diving. The
area is so rich in marine life that the tiny creatures are
visible even from the surface of the water. Since Kapalai
has plenty of underwater fauna in shallow waters as well as
deep waters, it is a suitable dive site for both beginners
and experienced divers.
The harlequin ghost pipefish is a master of camouflage.
In addition, there are numerous frogfish with its down-turned
mouth, blue-ringed octopus, the flamboyant cuttlefish that
empties its ink sac on its enemies, giant moray eels, mandarin
fish, dragonets, gobies, gurnards, turtles, rays, and crocodile
fish are just a few of the rich fauna in Kapalai.

is possible, there is always a long list of people waiting
