About this dive site

This dive site, Anemone City, is a truly unique experience. It’s located in an area seemingly surrounded by deep blue water, offering a sense of isolation and wonder. The site is known for its incredible concentration of anemones, each hosting a vibrant colony of clownfish – the guardians of this underwater paradise. A notable feature is a large, coral-encrusted anchor that adds to the site's character. Divers typically access Anemone City by boat, sometimes from shore, and it’s often explored in conjunction with Shark Reef, which appears dramatically as a massive wall rising from the depths. The journey out into the open water offers a stunning visual contrast between the dark blue expanse and the sudden emergence of Shark Reef's impressive structure.
