Kinasi Pass

Perhaps the most famous of all the dive sites in Chole Bay is the mighty Kinasi Pass and its ‘chicken’ pinnacle. Well known for its exciting drift through rocky topography, this site houses caverns and impressive rock formations.

Kinasi Pass is home to resident giant groupers, giant reef rays, barracuda, big schools of fish, and sporadic sightings of rarer creatures such as eagle rays and cobia.
