Manta
Reef
This reef is approximately 12 km north of
the launch site and therefore can only be
reached when the sea is relatively calm. This
reef is large and offers a great variety of
dives ranging from 18m to 35m on the outer
edge. As it is situated in the main current,
sighting of Manta and Devil rays are more
common. Three cleaning stations for Manta's
have been identified and Manta's are spotted
on a regular basis. Whale Sharks, Sharks and
various pelagic fish are often seen. One of
the better spots, called "Manta"
offers unbelievable diving with vast shoals
of reef fish as well as game fish to be seen.
Spanish Dancers have been seen swimming in
broad daylight. This reef regularly produces
world class diving!
Paindane
reef
This reef starts close to the shore and runs
down to 35m very quickly offering excellent
sightings of reef fish on one side with game
fish lurking on the other. Many lionfish can
be seen in one spot. The shallow protected
area has brilliant corals. Again this reef
has many spots, which have not been named
yet. The inner side of the reef is extremely
well protected and provides almost pool like
conditions for student training and snorkeling.
Island
rock reef
This reef is about 6 kms south of Paindane.
Several whale sharks are spotted here on a
regular basis. This site is rarely dived and
thus unexplored. A lot of reefs are still
to be discovered.
