Shore-entry house reef with sharks and rays
Shore-entry house reef with sharks and rays
Rannalhi Jetty is a shore-entry house reef on the north tip of the island with easy beach access, reef potholes, coral blocks, and a gentle slope that keeps the dive readable from start to finish. It is a strong fit for newer scuba divers, snorkelers, and relaxed freedive sessions that want sharks, rays, and plenty of reef life without a complicated entry. The tradeoff is that visibility and water movement are shaped by local conditions, so the site works best as a calm, practical house-reef day rather than a high-adrenaline adventure.
