Cologne Gardens - Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Twenty minutes west of Papatura, the G Spot is a single, exposed bommie that starts at five meters and slopes down past 26m. We’ve found it’s best approached on a calm, sunny day, both for spotting it from the surface and for the dive itself; strong currents can make it a real washing machine. When conditions are good, though, it’s a lively spot. Expect an underwater city of anemones, each hosting its own family of clownfish, along with regular visits from barracuda and green sea turtles. It’s a great choice for a relaxed afternoon dive if the weather is playing along.
