Albatros

Albatros, near the Sister Islands, is one of those sites that just feels good. We’ve always found the visibility here to be reliably decent, often pushing past 20 meters, which makes the scattered coral heads and swim-throughs even more inviting. Descending onto the main rock, you’re often greeted by a shimmer of fusiliers, so thick they almost obscure the reef. We love drifting through the natural passages, keeping an eye out for the resident loggerhead turtle that often cruises by, or a sleepy stingray tucked under a ledge. It’s a relatively shallow dive, maxing out around 18m, making it super comfortable for an hour-long bottom time. We’ve often seen small schools of eagle rays here, sometimes as many as ten gliding past in formation – a truly graceful sight. Keep an eye on the sand patches for flatfish and garden eels. This site is a great pick for newer divers looking for beautiful reef scenery without strong currents, and a relaxing second dive after exploring deeper sites.
