About this dive site

This dive site is known as Rainbow Reef, a location that truly transforms after sunset. During the day, it's vibrant and active, but at night, it becomes exceptionally captivating. The reef’s unique shape, mirroring its name, makes navigation easy. It's described as coming alive when the sun goes down. Because of this transformation, it is an excellent location to visit at night.
