About Sandys Plateau Jan Thiel Nxqr
Sandy's Plateau Jan Thiel Nxqr lies east of the Jan Thiel salt pans and is best treated as a current-aware boat-access plateau dive with a shallow top and a coral-covered wall that drops toward sand. The route is varied enough to reward careful buoyancy because the plateau, overhangs, and deeper wall all behave differently as you move along the site. Plan the entry and return deliberately rather than casually, since the dive is most comfortable when divers stay calm, keep trim, and respect the drift profile.
