About This Dive Spot
beginner friendly, enclosed lagoon with beach entry, sandy bottom with chunks of reef formations to swim around, quite shallow all over. Best time to visit is in the mornings, in the afternoon the tide comes over the reef wall at the back and swell can get strong and drag you around. Perfect place to see turtles and various fish, but beach does get crowded as many tourists visit to see the turtles which can ruin the vibe. But this is mainly at the shore, pop your snorkel on and head out into the lagoon and its far more peaceful and enjoyable!
