About this site
Skalahein Reef is a sloping coral reef that is excellent for drift diving. It has a lot of hard corals and particularly fine coral formations that slope down to great depth, with a maximum depth of around 25 metres.
Schooling fish gather over the reef, and it is well known for its large population of barracudas. Great manta rays have also been spotted here.
