About this site

Blue Lagoon is a shallow coral reef site located close to the site known as Mojo. It is current-prone and can only be visited on certain tides, making timing essential before entry.

The reef features beautiful coral gardens with a strong representation of shallow-water reef fish species, reaching a maximum depth of 12 m. The site is protected in all wind conditions, giving it a calm, sheltered character suited to beginner divers.

Marine life at Blue Lagoon includes occasional white tip reef sharks and foraging green turtles, alongside the typical shallow reef fish community found throughout the coral gardens. Visibility is generally good, and there is no significant current when the site is dived on the correct tide.
