Two Ridges - Cocos (Keeling) Islands
Patu Gogo offers a gentle, sloping reef, an easy dive in the Western Province. We’ve found it’s a good spot for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. Keep an eye out for spotted eagle rays gliding past and, if you’re lucky, some sizable nurse sharks resting on the sand. The site also has some interesting coral gullies and pinnacles, with plenty of cuttlefish and other smaller critters tucked away. Visibility usually sits around 20 meters, making for comfortable viewing.
