About this dive site

This dive site is an amazing shallow reef, situated on the northeast corner of a sand bank. It features a beautiful slope that transitions into a clear, sandy bottom. The reef is characterized by an abundance of vibrant hard corals, creating a rich underwater landscape. The site's gentle depths and clear water make it an accessible and enjoyable dive for all levels. Divers can expect to encounter a diverse range of marine life. Notable sightings include schools of blue stripe snappers, red snappers, and midnight snappers. The sandy bottom is home to charming garden eels, while larger pelagic species such as guitarfish, sting rays, and majestic eagle rays are frequently observed cruising along the reef. Sand Bank Reef is suitable for diving year-round, offering consistently good conditions.
