Dive Sites and Wild Life

With qualification, one can then visit our deeper sites, caverns, rock outcrops, reef, and Ridges, as well as the shipwrecks that this area is famous for.   Well maintained and populated with several colorful specie of reef and rock dwellers, our sites abound with plant and corals. Pelagic specie, like Tuna, Mackerel, Bonito, trevally, and barracuda make their regular visits. The grouper with their attendant cleaner wrasse and Morays peering out inquisitively from homes, live in symbiosis with colourful shrimp. Parrot fish constantly patrol, and trigger fish dart over the rocks, while several species of surgeon fish are ever present. Banner fish escort the imperious Moorish idol, and the damsel, and butterfly fish, frolic amidst the Sea fans and black coral trees, while Angels keep a watchful eye. Mussels and tube worm covered, whip coral, snake up toward the sunlight, and in the caverns and crevices, crayfish and crab, and have their home. Seashells and mollusc, lie amidst Anemones, and their resident clownfish. Octopus clamber over the surrounding terrain, and cleaners maintain station in canyon and grotto. A variety of ray and skate,  glide silently past ,while shoals of Fusilier and sardine, swirl in sparkling synchronized  underwater ballets, and schools of sweet lip mullet, form welcoming committees, to greet the divers and accompany them in their exploration. Curious squid and the languid sea turtle, float weightlessly over the shimmering white coral sand, and add to the great kaleidoscope of subterranean life around our dive sites, and for the viewing pleasure of the recreational diver.

Safety

With safety our constant concern, we take the more advanced divers to the recommended limit of 40 meters, to deeper and more challenging sites. Formations of rock pillars reaching upward from the darker depths, with mammoth granite boulders cascading down precipitous ledges, forming caves, and grottos for the avid explorer, and are well inhabited with resident marine species. And for the lucky diver, a chance visit by the gentle giant of the ocean, the whale shark is always imminent.
