About Little India
Little India is a sloping reef on Una Una that starts with a dense temple-coral field and then slides into sponge-covered reef. The site is easy to read underwater, but the profile drops fast enough that it suits experienced scuba divers more than casual sightseeing. Reef fish are common, with Napoleon wrasse, eagle rays, and bumphead parrotfish among the more notable sightings. Plan it as a boat dive from a local Una Una base and treat the deeper run as a deliberate follow-on rather than the main attraction.

Local Intel For Little India
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Treat the dive as a guided slope dive: start on the temple-coral field, track the reef line, and leave the deeper run for divers comfortable with depth.
Freediving
Only the shallow top of the reef is reasonable for freediving, and the main slope is too deep for casual breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is only realistic on the shallowest calm-water edge; most of the site is better suited to scuba.
