This dive site, Rannalhi House Reef, offers a welcoming experience for divers of all levels, beginning with a gentle sandy slope that leads onto an expansive and vibrant coral reef. As a house reef, it is typically accessed directly from the resort's shore, providing easy navigation along the reef's contours. There is no specific historical background mentioned, but its role as a nursery for juvenile marine life highlights its ecological importance.
The reef teems with colorful marine life, including various reef fish such as Sweetlips, Emperors, Mackerels, and large schools of fusiliers. It serves as a nursery, attracting larger predators like trevallys. Lucky divers may also encounter significant pelagic species such as Rays, Turtles, and Whitetip reef sharks among the diverse coral formations.
