About this dive site
This dive site offers a beautiful and accessible coral reef, easily reached from Tikila Beach Bar and Sunset Beach Club. The area starts just 5-10 minutes swimming distance from the shore at a shallow depth of approximately 6 meters (20 feet), gradually descending to a maximum depth of 11 meters (36 feet). This makes it ideal for divers of all skill levels, particularly those looking for a gentle introduction to underwater exploration or a refreshing experience after a break. The reef is teeming with vibrant marine life, including moray eels, stingrays, crustaceans, sea slugs, angelfish, parrotfish, filefish, gobies, and blennies. Majestic eagle rays are frequently spotted during the winter months. Scattered throughout the site are platforms, monuments, and other structures incorporated into a coral restoration project – a wonderful opportunity to contribute to reef conservation by volunteering. Don't forget to stop at the underwater camera station to capture your own memorable dive photo and see it displayed on a dedicated website featuring Zoe.
