About Biodiversity House Reef
Biodiversity House Reef is the resort-front shore reef, reached from the jetty and beach, with a gentle coral slope and rich life around the pillars and reef edge. It suits easy scuba, snorkeling, and night sessions, making it a practical stop for slow macro scanning, buoyancy practice, and repeat visits without a boat transfer. Conditions are usually forgiving, but the reef still needs attention to tide, swell, and shallow coral.

Scuba
A strong fit for relaxed shore dives, refresher sessions, and night dives. Keep buoyancy close around the jetty pillars and shallow coral to avoid contact.

Workable for cautious freedivers when the tide is friendly and the surface is calm. Stay conservative near the jetty and avoid pushing conditions.
