About this dive site

This dive site is located 30 meters off Milln reef. The reef gradually rises to a shallow wall, reaching a sandy bottom at 8 meters. A prominent Whale bommie begins at a base depth of 12 meters and extends to 24 meters at its deepest point. The top of the bommie sits approximately 2 meters below the surface and features various coral plateaus. This area is known for frequent sightings of large pelagic marine life. Divers can often observe Bumphead Parrotfish congregating during night dives, alongside turtles resting in hidden nooks and crannies.
