About TIM’S REEF
Tim's Reef is a shallow boat-access reef near Ambaro and Nosy Sakatia, with distinctive halomitra and galaxea coral, easy lodge-side logistics, and a calm, scenic profile. The shallow layout suits relaxed buoyancy-focused dives, slow photo time, and careful coral awareness rather than deep profiles or strong-current work. Green turtles and nudibranchs are the kind of sightings that make the site stand out.
