About this site
A vibrant reef near Gaya Island teems with green sea turtles, often resting in the coral crevices. The sloping coral garden transitions to sandy patches at 18 meters, where stingrays glide. Visibility averages 10-15 meters, with mild currents. Schools of batfish and parrotfish weave through the hard and soft corals. Ideal for beginners and photographers, with occasional sightings of blacktip reef sharks in deeper sections. Water temperatures hover around 28-30°C year-round.
