Boat-access bommie reef with rich coral and fish life
Boat access and tide timing are best handled by a local guide.
Annie's Bommie is a boat-access coral bommie reef in the Somosomo Strait, built around two large pinnacles linked by a ridge. The dive rewards slow, careful route-finding between coral heads and sheltered cut-throughs, with soft coral, hard coral, sea fans, and plenty of reef life packed into the structure. At slack it is an easy site to read; when the tide strengthens, the same bommies turn into a much livelier drift-style exploration, so good buoyancy and a local guide matter.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
5m - 27m
Depth Note
Starts around 5 m and drops to about 27 m; best zone is 18 m and shallower.
Best Season
April to November, with the most comfortable dives usually in the drier mid-year window.
Typical Conditions
Slack-water dives feel mellow and exploratory; stronger tides make the same bommies far more energetic and fishy.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep close to the guide, check buoyancy before threading the bommies, and give the reef extra space when current or drift builds.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only through a local operator; the site is best planned around tide and current rather than treated as a casual self-guided dive.
Legal Notes
Follow local dive-operator and marine-area rules; avoid touching coral or using the reef as an anchor point.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A ridge connects the pinnacles to the main reef and can be dived at any time; depths range from about 5 m down to 27 m, with the prime area around 18 m and shallower.
Freediving
Possible only for confident freedivers in calm, well-briefed conditions; treat Annie's Bommie as a scuba-first site.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel site; the current-sensitive reef shape makes it better suited to guided scuba than relaxed surface snorkeling.
