This dive site, known as Anda Scuba Diving House Reef, is celebrated as 'Turtle City' due to its abundant turtle population. Located directly in front of the dive shop, it offers easy shore access. The reef features a captivating wall that begins at 5 meters, sloping down to 12 meters before a steep drop-off continues to greater depths, though the practical maximum for this analysis is 19 meters. Sandy canyons carve their way through the reef, adding topographical interest.
The main draw of this house reef is its impressive population of turtles, primarily Green and some Hawksbill turtles, which are often found around cleaner fish stations. For macro enthusiasts, the deeper sections of the reef, within the 19-meter limit, are home to sea fans where elusive pygmy seahorses can be spotted. The general reef environment also supports a variety of reef fish and corals.
Anda Scuba Diving House Reef is an excellent dive spot year-round, offering consistent marine life encounters. It's particularly renowned for wide-angle opportunities with turtles and provides a superb location for macro photography with its pygmy seahorses. Its accessibility and diverse depth profile make it suitable for both scuba divers of all levels and freedivers looking to explore the shallower wall sections and observe the bustling 'Turtle City'.
