The Scene Changes Dramatically At Low Tide When The Reef Ring Of The Atoll – A Natural 1.5m Wall Bordered By Several Sandbanks – Is Exposed And Several Shallow Lagoons And Tidal Pools Are Formed Producing A Spectacular And Colourful Landscape. In Addition, Large Numbers Of Fish Get Trapped In Tidal Pools, Transforming The Atoll Into A Natural Aquarium Of Great Beauty" (Ab Ev)
