About Back Door
Back Door is a compact boat-dived reef on the north side of M'pai Bay, built around a mooring-line descent, a sandy start, and a reef corner that stays interesting without becoming deep. The site mixes a big gorgonian, schooling fish, and pufferfish around the concrete block with denser coral on the surrounding reef, so it works well as a relaxed macro-and-reef dive. Expect a shallow profile, little to slight current, and a route that rewards easy pacing and clean buoyancy.
