The name Naifaru means "Mantis Shrimp Reef" (tamarutaca), and the animal can be spotted on the dive. The west side of the reef is home to a coral restoration project and has damselfish, anthias, gobies, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, triggerfish and morays, as well as schools of batfish near the floating marine centre. On the east side, the coral blocks are home to giant morays, shrimps, anemones, juvenile emperor angelfish and octopus. Past the sand, on the southern reef, garden eels sway in the current, and stingrays and eagle rays can be seen feeding.
