This dive site features two substantial bommies located just off a prominent main reef system. The main reef gradually descends from the surface, starting at 5 meters and sloping down to approximately 30 meters with a steeper drop-off. One of these bommies, nicknamed ‘Cigar,’ is renowned for its abundant marine life and frequent sightings of pelagic species. The second bommie, known as ‘Turtle Bommie,’ is shallower and covered in vibrant anemones. A sandy slope surrounds it, populated by garden eels. This site offers a diverse underwater experience.
