About this dive site

This dive site, located on Labas Island, offers a unique and challenging experience. The island is characterized by its distinctive "Swiss Cheese" appearance due to numerous swim-throughs and small caverns, creating a labyrinthine underwater environment with two distinct dive locations: the head and the tail. Both areas are equally captivating, providing divers with opportunities to explore dense coral gardens or navigate through the intricate network of passageways. Due to potential hazards including areas requiring advanced diving skills, it is crucial that divers thoroughly assess their abilities and experience before entering any portion of this site. This may necessitate familiarity with deep dives, wreck exploration, cave/cavern diving, or technical diving techniques. Always prioritize safety by staying within your personal limits. Visibility at Labas Island can vary. While the open areas offer excellent views, deeper sections and those containing caves may present reduced visibility. Currents around the island can also fluctuate, adding to the challenge and requiring careful navigation.
