About This Dive Spot
Castil Point presents a unique underwater landscape characterized by a flat-bottom reef interspersed with large rock formations that resemble a fragmented castle. Divers can observe Blacktip Reef Sharks in the flat areas, and with some luck, up to three Eagle Rays may also be seen. After approximately 15 minutes of diving, heading left leads to a drop-off where a shallow zone teems with small marine life. This area is home to Glass Shrimp, Fire Gobies, Hermit Crabs, Skeleton Shrimp, and Nudibranchs, providing diverse opportunities for observation.
