About Gorgonia Forrest
Gorgonia Forrest is a remote point dive on the eastern side of Nanatha Bay, where a current-swept wall is draped in large gorgonian fans and draws both reef fish and bigger pelagics. It suits divers who want a guided drift with strong structure, clear tropical water, and enough relief for photography along the fan forest and wall.

Boat or drift scuba only. The site rewards buoyancy control, situational awareness, and a guide who can keep the wall line comfortable.

Not a primary freedive target; current and wall exposure make scuba the safer, more useful option.
