About this dive site

This dive site is located in a beautiful bay characterized by pool-like conditions and a maximum depth of 5 meters. It’s an excellent location for both beginner divers and experienced scuba enthusiasts seeking abundant marine life. The reef extends southward along the coastal area, culminating near Monkey Point. Closer to Monkey Point, a significant plateau of branching coral emerges, offering diverse hard and soft corals. Divers frequently encounter large schools of fish, stingrays, and turtles within this area. In October 2022, a Tourism Reef Protection Initiative was implemented, introducing 'Reef Stars' to aid in coral regeneration. These stars can still be observed while diving or snorkeling on the northern western portion of the reef.
