Why dive here
Dunas is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and orcas.
Dunas offers a straightforward dive on a sandy bottom, broken up by scattered rocks and small rocky outcrops. We often spot moray eels tucked into the crevices and rays gliding over the sand. It’s a calmer spot, good for newer divers building confidence or for a relaxed second dive. Visibility here is usually pretty reliable.
