About Jissah Island
Jissah Island is a short boat ride from the nearest dive centre and is often used for introductory dives and open-water training. The route begins from the south and keeps the reef to the left, following a shallow slope past an artificial reef area and table coral growth. It is a beginner-friendly boat site rather than an exposed deep-water dive.
