Country Garden (14)

We love Country Garden for its easy drift and the sheer joy of letting the current carry you over those rolling coral heads. It’s a site that feels a little like floating through a fish tank, especially with the sun sparkling through the 22m visibility. Keep an eye out for those tiny ruby brittle stars tucked into the crevices, and the blennies, particularly the spinyheads, peeking out from every available hole. The chain morays are often seen slithering through the rock formations here, too, a constant entertainment. This is a boat dive, so you get dropped right onto the action, typically a gentle drift that barely requires a fin kick. It's a relaxed dive, maxing out at 20m, perfect for an afternoon cruise when you want to just soak it all in. We’d suggest going slow, hugging the reef, and scanning the sandy patches for the small stuff, like the yellowline gobies darting in and out of their burrows. You might even spot a loggerhead turtle cruising past, seemingly unbothered by anything.
