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.

Freedive

Not a freedive-first site; the reef slope and stonefish hazard make guided scuba the better fit.

Snorkelling is secondary here; the slope and reef garden are better handled as scuba.
