    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Habitat isn't just a dive; it's an experience that starts with a friendly chat at the local dive school – a nice touch that keeps it from getting overrun. We love the easy entry from the pier; a short fin kick and you're right on a stunning wall. It drops to a comfortable 22 meters, perfect for a long, relaxed dive. The wall itself is riddled with crevices and overhangs. Keep an eye out for the shy Spotted Lanternfish tucked away, and we often spot Trunkfish meandering along the reef crest. Our favourite thing here is how the light plays on the lettuce corals, especially in the late morning sun. We've had some memorable encounters with Green Turtles munching away in the shallower sections. You'll often see schools of surgeonfish patrolling the top of the reef, and if you have a good eye, tiny Yellowline Gobies darting between corals. It's a great spot for macro lovers, but also suits divers who just want a straightforward, beautiful wall dive without strong currents.
