About this dive site
This dive site, Neptune’s Balcony, offers a fantastic deep diving experience on Agatti’s Western Reef. Divers navigate along stunning slopes starting from 20+ meters, leading to a dramatic drop-off at 40 meters. The majestic walls descend to almost 60 meters, opening to pure white sands below, creating an expansive underwater arena. It is recommended to swim away from the wall to appreciate the vastness of the "Balcony".
While no specific marine animals are mentioned, the deep reef and wall environment likely supports a variety of pelagic species such as reef sharks, tunas, and barracudas, along with diverse reef fish. Hard and soft corals would adorn the slopes and walls, providing shelter and sustenance for smaller invertebrates and fish, though the focus is more on the larger topography.
Neptune's Balcony is a highlight for advanced divers seeking dramatic topography and excellent visibility, often exceeding 25 meters. Although specific seasonal best times are not provided, consistent conditions are generally found outside of monsoon seasons. Freedivers will also find the deep walls and clear waters highly appealing for depth training and exploration.
