Dili

Timor-Leste

Tasi Tolu is a small critter dive site.  It is especially interesting at night when many burrowing crabs, crustaceans and cephalopods come out of the sand to look for food.  The slope is a very gradual sandy bank and one must be carefull to check depth to avoid going too deep. 

It is not uncommon to see rhinopias, sea horses, frogfish and harlequin ghost pipefish.  At night, small octopus and well camouflaged pink soft coral crabs often highlight the dive.  

The site is only 15-20 minutes from the center of Dili.  The turn off is located after having passed the road to the airport and is basically where the ocean is first visible.  You turn to the right on a dirt track and can park your car 10 m from the water.  The entry is a very easy gradual sandy entry.
