As to the diving itself, you can do 4 dives per day from the resorts boats at sites which are mainly within minutes of the dock, plus dusk and night dives are available every day.

Diving

Overall, the diving here is Critter Heaven. If you’re a macro photographer, this is right up there with the best: frogfish, cuttlefish, pygmy squid, nudibranchs, scorpionfish, lionfish, Moray eels and all sorts of crabs and shrimps here.

Sometimes you can see the more special critters here, like flamboyant cuttlefish, mimic octopus, Ambon scorpionfish and striated (Hairy) frogfish. There are also great night dives where you regularly find nocturnal stargazers and the extremely rare Bumblebee Shrimp!

There are, on the other hand, a few sites with big barracudas as well as schools of surgeonfish, fusiliers and yellow snapper plus large Spanish mackerel, dogtooth tuna snake eels and stingrays. It’s really just the tip of the iceberg ….

Tech Diving

You’ll find both rebreather and technical diving available from the resort and you’ll be impressed by the terrific staff of dive guides and first-rate PADI education center with excellent facilities, should you wish to take advantage of any of the many courses they offer.
