About this dive site
This dive site is located in the Laguna, specifically within the area known as ‘The Spit’. Access to this location is best achieved by boat or zodiac, as it’s situated approximately 450 metres from the beach. A significant feature of the site is a large Madrepore tower, separated from a half-submerged reef by a channel. The dive begins at around 20 meters from a sandy seabed and is known for its abundant marine life. Napoleonfish are particularly prevalent here, giving the site its name. It’s an area offering both visual interest with the tower and reef, and opportunities to observe diverse species within a relatively shallow environment.
