About this dive site
This dive site, Turtle Reef, is characterized by a gently sloping coral reef that makes for an easy and enjoyable dive. Navigation is straightforward, following the gentle incline of the reef. There's no known specific history or story behind the naming, though the rarity of turtles is a point of interest.
The reef teems with a variety of tropical fish, offering excellent opportunities for both macro and wide-angle photography. While turtles are infrequent, the diverse hard coral formations provide habitat for numerous colorful fish species and smaller invertebrates like crustaceans.
The best time to visit is likely during the dry season, which usually runs from June to October, when visibility is best. Conditions are generally calm, making it ideal for divers of all levels, as well as for snorkelers and freediving. Remember to maintain buoyancy control to avoid damaging the delicate coral, and always follow local guidelines and regulations.
