Sheltered coral system, generally calm — beginner to intermediate divers
A pretty, sheltered reef of coral blocks, sandy patches and gentle slopes that is well suited to beginners and improving divers. Depths of about 5 to 25 metres and calm conditions make for long, relaxed dives among healthy corals and abundant reef fish, with the odd turtle or larger visitor to keep things exciting. A good all-round site for training and easy fun diving.
