Beginner-friendly shore reef with calm, colorful water.
Scuba Lodge House Reef sits right in front of the hotel, with an easy shore entry, small reef walls, and a calm profile that works well for relaxed scuba or snorkel sessions. The reef is a good fit for easy-going dives because the navigation is simple, the water is sheltered, and blue parrotfish, turtles, and the occasional dolphin can show up along the way.
