The largest island in the Conflicts is six kilometers (3.5 miles) long and boasts a spectacular, unspoiled beachfront. Surrounded by one of the healthiest and most biodiverse coral systems in the world, Irai is a diver’s and snorkeler’s paradise. The northwest and southwest tips are said to offer the best diving, but with marine life this amazing—Irai holds the accolade for the highest number of species noted in a single dive—it’s hard to know where you could go wrong.
