About Malibu Point
Malibu Point is an advanced dive site with a maximum depth of around 22 m, characterized by a steep reef that transitions into a wall along its western side. The dive typically begins inside a small cove at depths of 8–12 m, where conditions are generally more sheltered. From there, divers move toward the outer edge of the reef to locate the wall, which then becomes the main feature of the dive. Once along the wall, the dive is usually conducted as a drift, following the reef profile while maintaining depth and positioning according to conditions. Currents at Malibu Point can be strong and variable, and proper timing is essential to ensure safe conditions.
