Boat-access reef drift on Kusu Island with a bay start.
Boat-access reef drift on Kusu Island with a bay start.
Boat access from the resort area is the normal way in, and a local briefing helps line up the bay start and drift.
Kusu South is a boat-access reef dive on the south side of Kusu Island that starts in a bay and then drifts toward the resort side. The route is shaped more by reef structure than by hard current, so it suits intermediate divers who want a relaxed island dive with clear landmarks, steady boat handling, and plenty of reef life to scan along the way.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Best Season
Calm weather windows.
Typical Conditions
Short boat ride, bay start, gentle drift, reef structure, and a quiet resort-area setting.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Keep the boat briefing in mind and stay aligned with the bay-to-resort line; it is more of a route-led dive than a place to wander.
Access Restrictions
Plan it through a boat operator or resort dive center; there is no shore-entry setup.
Legal Notes
Follow resort guidance and local marine-area rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A short boat drop, a bay start, and a reef line that drifts toward the resort side make this a straightforward scuba route.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is only worth considering near the sheltered bay start on calm days; the main line is better suited to scuba.
