Orange Oasis
Neil Island slope dive with orange algae, soft corals, and reef fish.
Orange Oasis is a Neil Island reef dive in the Andamans with a sloping profile, a drop-off, and strong visual contrast from orange algae and pale sand.
About Orange Oasis
Orange Oasis is a Neil Island dive site with a gradual slope that turns into a dramatic drop-off. Orange algae, white sand, and soft corals make the terrain easy to recognize, while a large ridge with elevated mounts gathers snappers, surgeonfish, parrotfish, and groupers. It is usually best planned as a boat dive with a local operator, because sea state and seasonal conditions influence how comfortable the site feels on the day.
