Manijin Island

About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique exploration experience. The dive begins with a gentle swim along the island wall, descending to a sandy patch at 18 meters. This area features stunning natural patterns and vibrant colors within the sand. Divers can then enter a swim-through at 12 meters, exiting at 8 meters on top of a reef adorned with pink Peyssonnelia algae. A highlight of this site is a massive bowl formation – an ancient air bubble that collapsed over time, creating an intriguing underwater cavity. Entering the bowl through an archway allows for a slow swim under the overhangs in a full 360-degree circle. The exit from the bowl utilizes a blowhole, culminating in a spectacular ‘champagne cork’ effect as you emerge from the reef. Returning to the starting point involves another longer and narrower swim-through within the island's reef structure.
