    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    KRM in the Keramas is a good intermediate dive, topping out at 17 metres. We typically find a scattering of the usual reef fish here – think clownfish in anemones and some curious wrasse. It's a decent spot for knocking out a relaxed dive, especially if you're comfortable drifting a bit with mild current. It’s not one for the logbook’s highlight reel, but reliably pleasant.
