Comments and Feedback
Marine life around Charna Island includes the yellow-bellied sea snake, great barracuda, narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, cobia, mahi-mahi, skipjack tuna, angel fish, sea urchin, sea fan, oyster, ray fish and rare green turtle. Charna Island is a favorite spot for fisherman, they throw all the debris in ocean which they use that's why there are many debris we found during our dives.
