The Blue Room is an easy 15-minute boat ride from Mantaray Island, a quiet spot away from the usual dive traffic. It’s a circular, submerged reef, and the name truly fits – the water here often has this incredible blue cast to it. We've dropped to 17 meters, watching schools of blue and gold fusiliers swirl, and it’s a good spot to catch a glimpse of buffalo parrotfish or a cruising hawksbill turtle. Keep an eye out for smaller stuff too, like the dotted wrasse or the subtle High Hat Triplefin. It’s a straightforward dive, well-suited for a relaxed afternoon.
