About this dive site

This dive site, known as Secret Reef, is situated on the northern side of the smaller St. George’s Island in India. Divers will explore a distinctive underwater landscape featuring a wall composed of large boulders, which gradually transitions into a sandy bottom. The site's shallow to moderate depths make navigation straightforward, primarily involving exploring the wall and its transition zone. There is no publicly known specific history or story behind the dive site's name, suggesting it might be a local secret. The reef is vibrant with marine life, including numerous triggerfish and groupers. Plate corals provide a habitat for a variety of other interesting reef fish, creating a lively ecosystem for divers to observe. The site offers good opportunities to spot a diverse range of reef inhabitants within its bouldered and coral-rich environment. The best time to visit this dive site generally aligns with the dry season in Goa, typically from October to May, offering optimal visibility and calm conditions. Its shallow depth range makes it ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers seeking to explore a thriving reef environment. Divers are advised to look closely among the boulders and corals for hidden marine life.
