    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Anse Thomas is a shallow, relaxed dive within Cousteau Reserve, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. At 17 meters, you'll find a gently sloping reef with plenty of juvenile fish darting amongst the sponges and soft corals. We often spot schooling grunts and snapper here, along with the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice. It’s a comfortable, unchallenging dive.
