Unfortunately this dive site may not exist in the near future. A storm drain is being dug which empties out right on to the site. So far as we are aware no environmental impact assessement has been carried out as to the effects of this storm drain. Tasi Tolu is also a breeding and feeding ground for Dugong, one of the worls most endangered species. This site is also going to be one of the featured dive sites in the upcoming Timor-Leste Underwater Photo contest. Something needs to be done.

It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to come with you on this very special dive. This would have to be the most accessable of all dive sites in Timor Leste and with a size of about a volleyball pitch, one of the most diveserve for the keen photographer. The new drain on the beach looked scary and if completed, will most certainly have a negative impact on this wonderful site.
