Shallow Point is a Bangaram reef dive for rays and calm water.
Shallow Point is one of Bangaram Island's older reef dives, with a shallow coral ledge that drops into sand and stays comfortable for relaxed diving. The site is more about easy reef cruising and good buoyancy than dramatic depth, so it suits beginners as well as anyone looking for a low-stress second dive. Expect dense fish life, juvenile reef fish and several ray species across the slope.
