    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Banana Bay offers a straightforward shore dive, popular for its easy entry and generally calm conditions. You’ll find a sandy bottom sloping gently down, dotted with coral bommies and small reef patches. It's a nice spot for newer divers to get comfortable or for snorkelers, with occasional sightings of parrotfish and damselfish around the coral. We find it's a good place for a relaxed afternoon dip, rather than a high-octane adventure.
