Dive Spot Guide•
Purple Haze
Purple Haze is a Havelock macro reef with soft corals and calm water.
A short boat dive off Havelock with soft coral, strong macro life, and long bottom time in calmer months.
About Purple Haze
Purple Haze is a shallow Havelock reef that rewards slow swimming, macro searching, and good buoyancy more than fast movement. It has purple soft corals, red gorgonians, and enough small life to keep a dive busy from start to finish. On the best days, the boat ride is short, the water is calm, and the site becomes an easy, photogenic reef with plenty of bottom time.
