Tufi Dive Resort House Reef is the resort's easy macro site, reached from the dive-shop wharf or nearby jetty, with outer reefs a short boat hop away. The route mixes sheltered shallow sand, reef edges, and critter-rich muck patches, so the best dives are slow, close inspection passes rather than long swims. It suits beginners and photographers who want calm water, relaxed planning, and a high chance of small marine life without much current.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a slow macro and muck-style scuba dive with careful buoyancy and time spent on small subjects rather than distance.
Freediving
Useful for controlled shallow sessions with calm water and close-in subjects; it is not a long-range freedive site.
Snorkeling
The shallow sheltered zone can work for snorkelers when the sea is settled, but the site is most rewarding if you can stay close to the reef and inspect small subjects.
