About this dive site
This dive site, known as Coral Gardens, offers a unique underwater experience. The area features a combination of sandy patches interspersed with healthy coral formations that descend along the reef wall. It’s particularly captivating at night when the Tubastraea Coral fans display their remarkable ‘blooming’ behavior – a sight often captured in photographs. Recent efforts have seen this location adopted as part of the Adopt the Blue initiative, demonstrating its importance for conservation. Situated adjacent to a passage, divers may occasionally encounter sharks and eagle rays. Being one of the closest sites to the departure area makes it an easily accessible option. The depth is not specified, but visibility is excellent.
