About Lighthouse Bukabuka
Lighthouse Bukabuka is a reef-slope dive just north of Buka-Buka Island, in front of the lighthouse, where a gentle slope turns onto a right-hand reef slope and a large cabbage coral garden stands out. The site suits steady reef diving with stonefish awareness, strong coral structure, and a mix of sharks, rays, turtles, and jacks that reward careful buoyancy and slow coverage of the slope.

Scuba Diving
