About Romba
Romba is a boat-served deep reef near Neil Island with a broad flat top, a lot of fish, and enough relief to stay interesting through the whole dive. It suits experienced scuba divers who want a busy site with strong structure, clear-water planning, and the kind of constant underwater activity that rewards slow observation more than speed. The reef feels lively from the moment you settle in, but it still asks for disciplined depth and spacing.
