    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cape Kyan offers a straightforward dive to 19 meters, ideal for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed exploration. We usually find plenty of anemonefish here, often with resident moray eels peeking out from the cracks. It's a nice option for a second dive of the day, with steady conditions and generally good visibility, allowing for an easy pace.
