Ponta de Nho Jon (Shallow) bay dive with easy access and life.
Ponta de Nho Jon (Shallow) bay dive with easy access and life.
Ponta de Nho Jon (Shallow) is a sheltered bay dive that works well for beginners, try dives, and snorkelers. The route stays shallow and lets you move back and forth between rocky features instead of committing to a long exposed swim. The main draw is the life packed into the bay: schools of fish, green turtles, rays, catfish, and frogfish.
Safety Notes
Keep good trim around the rocks and avoid stirring the bay floor.
Access Restrictions
No special restrictions noted beyond normal bay-entry caution around the rocks.
Legal Notes
Follow standard local dive-operator guidance and general marine-site care.
