About this dive site

This dive site, Alimatha house reef, is located as part of Dekunu kandu. The area begins near the Jetty and offers a notable concentration of nurse sharks. Diving currents will influence your experience; if the current flows inwards, you’ll be carried westward along the prominent reefs that extend from approximately 3 meters to 15 meters depth, leading towards 'island'. Conversely, when the current runs outward, a spectacular wall composed of coral blocks descends to a maximum depth of 25 meters. This area is known for its excellent opportunities to spot sea eagles. The depth range provides diverse diving experiences suitable for various skill levels.
