About this dive site

This dive site, named Mangrove, is primarily known as an excellent location for open water diver training due to its calm conditions and accessible depths. Underwater, divers can expect easy navigation over a sandy bottom transitioning to a small patch reef. There is no specific history or story provided for this local training ground, but its suitability makes it a popular choice for dive schools in the region.

The site is home to a variety of small marine life. Divers can observe colorful butterfly fish, the distinctive lionfish, and often spot clownfish among anemones. Additionally, crabs, eels, and shrimps are commonly found hiding within the reef patches and sandy areas, offering good opportunities for macro observation.

The best time to visit Mangrove is typically during the dry season when weather conditions are stable and visibility is generally at its best. Its shallow average depth of 8 meters makes it perfectly suited for beginner divers and a fantastic spot for freedivers to practice their skills in a safe and controlled environment.
