Two Caves (Wreck) - Cocos (Keeling) Islands
Namotu Fish Market sits on the northern side of Namotu Island’s house reef, a spot we’ve found consistently delivers a good, relaxed dive. You’ll start shallow, around 3 to 5 meters, before a gentle slope takes you down to a maximum of 17 meters. It’s mostly hard corals, lots of sponges, and plenty of garden eels waving from the sand patches. We’ve often seen whitetips cruising through, and if you keep an eye out, you might spot a hawksbill or green turtle gracefully making its way past. Currents here are usually slight to moderate, making it a comfortable dive for anyone from newly certified divers to those with more logged dives looking for a pleasant afternoon in the water.
