Carpet Cove is a sheltered Beqa Lagoon wreck-and-pinnacle dive off Pacific Harbour. A deliberately sunk fishing vessel anchors the deeper part of the site while coral-covered pinnacles and anemone-rich shallows give it a second, easier layer to explore. Soft corals, sea fans, and schooling fish make it a compact boat dive with clear terrain contrast.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Primary features are an upright wreck at about 30 m and nearby pinnacles rising to about 5 m.
Freediving
Only the shallow pinnacles and reef tops suit advanced freedivers; the wreck itself is a scuba-first feature.
Snorkeling
Calm-water snorkelers can use the shallow reef tops, but the main wreck lies too deep to be a true snorkel site.
