A drift dive, sometimes quite strong – lots and lots of fish – large pelagic and a more than likely possibility of Sharks, Barracuda, Grey Whalers, Eagle Rays and other interesting marine life. Max Depth: 20m.
 
     
Owens Reef
A figure eight reef from 1 meter down to 20 meters – It has been said that there is a greater diversity of species of coral and fish on this small reef than many other dive sites. A good dive for everyone – includes swim through coral and gorgonian overhangs and lots of fish. Many divers do repeat dives on this reef.
Max Depth: 20m.
 
     
Wreck of M.V BELAMA
An island freighter of around 200 tons, which was badly damaged in a cyclone, scuttled close to Owens reef- a dive able wreck where you can swim through the cabins and around the passageways then across the bow section a few meters away from the bulk of the ship. Great introduction to wreck diving without having to go too deep. Max Depth: 20m.
 
     
Bottle Fish Cave
An interesting and very popular dive site with large fish and scattered remnants of Coca-Cola bottles, plates and mugs from the tugboats which used to maintain the anti-submarine nets during the war. Large grouper and wrasse are often seen here. There is an interesting swim through and close by there are several thermal vents with hot water.
 
     
Paul’s Rock. (Boat Dive)
Paul’s rock is a rough oval shape reef that has a number of swim through and drop off wall on one end. Many tame fish exists on this reef, as it is a “Taboo Reef” for custom native owners. Fish feeding is part of the dive and usually you can see coral Trout, Trevally and lots of Surgeonfish throughout the dive. Coral cover is good and generally there is a turtle or two around the reef. Max Depth: 35ms.
