A local Amouliani dive operator is the practical way to reach and brief PETALO 1 DIVE SITE.
PETALO 1 DIVE SITE is a horseshoe-rock reef slope on the northwest side of Amouliani, with a shallow start that opens into a bigger amphitheater of sand, fish schools, sponges, and rocky ledges. It suits relaxed scuba divers who want an easy-to-read route with room to follow the terrain deeper, pause for macro details, and finish with groupers, snappers, morays, octopus, and crustaceans.
