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
Scuba route follows the gentle slope and then the right‑hand reef slope to the cabbage coral garden; maintain good buoyancy because stonefish may be present.
