The underwater topography features a long reef that ascends to a striking bombie, offering diverse structures for exploration. While the reef structure extends to depths of 45 meters, the designated maximum dive depth for this site is typically 20 meters, with an average depth of around 10 meters. Divers can expect low to medium currents, even on calm days, which often provide exciting drift opportunities along the reef.
The marine environment at Gabriella’s Fish Point is rich and diverse, boasting plenty of vibrant coral species that house numerous reef fish. Commonly sighted species include the charismatic Clown Fish, the herbivorous Parrot Fish, and the diligent Cleaning Wrasse. For those interested in larger marine life, pelagics are frequent visitors, with Barracuda and White Tip Reef Sharks often patrolling the area, adding an exciting dimension to the dive experience.
The site is generally suitable for diving throughout the year, with the consistent moderate currents being a defining feature.
