Tafraka
Shallow slope dive with dugongs, pelagics, and reef life.
Local operator required

Tafraka is a short boat dive on a sloping reef with a modest maximum depth and a real chance at dugongs. It suits divers who want an easy route, steady sightseeing, and good marine-life odds.
About Tafraka
Tafraka is a shallow-to-moderate slope dive where the appeal is the easy terrain and the chance that a lucky day brings something unusual into view. The site is relaxed rather than dramatic, with a broad sloping profile that lets divers move slowly along the reef and keep an eye out for dugongs, turtles, tuna, and small pelagic fish. It is a boat-access dive that works best when conditions are calm enough to make the slope easy to read and the marine life easier to spot.
