Special Request is an outer reef-edge dive off Dr Grooms Beach with soft corals, sea plumes, and a hard coral slope that gets richer as you move deeper. It rewards slow hovering and close inspection, because the site is built around small critters, clean reef structure, and a calm, controlled pace rather than dramatic depth.
