To situate you before you go below the water’s surface, the Christo Rei East beach is only about 20 minutes from Dili by car. You have to drive over the ridge and turn back on a coastal road to reach it. Because it is a bit farther than the more common Christo Rei beach, it is much less crowded and sometimes you get the whole beach to yourself. For divers, the entry is very gradual on sandy bottom covered in sea grass where you may encounter seahorses if you are lucky (see Charlie the seahorse below). The area is covered in giant clams of many colors and the reefs harbor lots of cool critters. Enjoy the images below taken on a visit to this great site.
