    Playa Hundu, despite the modest maximum depth of 21 metres, is one of our favourite spots on the southeast coast for a relaxed dive. We love the easy entry from the small, quiet beach, which means you’re slipping into the water without any fuss. The reef here starts shallow, around 5 metres, and slopes gently down. It’s a perfect site for taking your time. We’ve found some truly impressive colonies of Massive Starlet Coral, real giants that often get overlooked in faster dives. Keep your eyes peeled for flamingo tongue snails, they’re almost a guarantee here, clinging to gorgonians. If you ascend slowly over the sandy patches, you might even catch a stingray half-buried, doing its best impression of the seafloor. Visibility averages a comfortable 21 metres, so you’ll have no trouble spotting the Broad Shad and French Grunts schooling in the mid-water. This is a dive for those who appreciate the details, the slower pace, and the chance to truly explore a vibrant, healthy reef without any strong currents pushing you along. It’s not about huge pelagics, but about the consistent beauty of the Caribbean reef and its smaller inhabitants.
