Kasmira Reef - Isle of Pines
Kasmira Reef offers a straightforward dive on a healthy coral system. We often find a good mix of smaller reef fish here, along with a decent chance of seeing turtles cruising past. It's a relaxed spot, generally with mild currents, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. Expect colourful soft corals and plenty of activity around the bommies.
