This dive site, Tide Bottle, is located along a sandy reef line with its mooring at a depth of 11 meters, gradually sloping west to 30 meters. Divers can navigate by following the reef, where the best sponges and coral formations are found between 15-25 meters. It's an excellent location for beginner certified divers due to its manageable depths and diverse environment.
The site is home to a variety of marine life including stingrays, turtles, and various eels which can be found hiding under corals. Large barrel sponges are a prominent feature, and divers can actively participate in spearing lionfish, an invasive species. Sleeping stingrays are often observed in the sandy areas.
While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, the site offers rewarding experiences for slow divers keen on observing marine details like hiding eels and sleeping stingrays. Divers should be mindful of possible currents, which can vary. Its suitable depths and abundant life also make it a great spot for freediving and snorkeling, particularly in the shallower mooring area.
