About this dive site

This dive site, known as The Lake, is located south of residential beach villas and serves as a great option for divers of all skill levels. It’s named after a distinctive sand patch resembling a lake, situated between two reef systems at a depth ranging from 20 to 24 meters. The initial approach offers an easy entry point, allowing divers to swim directly to the mooring buoy or descend immediately to explore the shallow coral formations and abundant juvenile fish. The surrounding reefs boast healthy coral coverage with varied hard corals displaying unique structures – this area is considered a particularly enjoyable section of the site. Night dives are also possible here. The dive site provides gradual sloping bottom conditions, making it suitable for adjusting depth based on individual experience.
