Neil Island dive-site context for seagrass, dugongs and small reef life.
Dive Spot Guide•
Margarita’s Mischief
Boat-access patch reef with dugong seagrass and rock mounds.
A shallow patch reef over rock mounds, so it suits slow boat dives, good buoyancy and a careful look into the cavities and seagrass lanes.
About Margarita’s Mischief
Margarita’s Mischief is a boat-access patch reef between Havelock and Neil Island, built around a chain of rock mounds and seagrass that draws dugongs. Divers usually work the shallow top first, then explore the cavities and sand lanes between the rocks for morays, octopus and other small life, so the site rewards relaxed buoyancy and a slow look rather than a fast pass.
