About Carpet Cove
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.
