Seahorse

Seahorse, true to its name, delivers if you know where to look. We always hit the shallow seagrass beds first. It’s where those tiny, elusive seahorses cling, often no bigger than your thumbnail. You need a keen eye and plenty of patience to spot them, but the reward of seeing their delicate curls around a blade of grass is worth the effort. Beyond the seagrass, the reef slopes gently, dotted with some impressive tube sponges. We've seen Honeycomb Groupers lurking in the shadows there, and occasionally a cowfish bumbles by. Visibility averages a decent 15 meters, enough to appreciate the coral formations as you descend. It’s a tranquil, slow-paced dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who enjoys the thrill of the hunt for macro life. We’d suggest going in the morning; the light filtering through the seagrass is beautiful, and it’s usually calmer. Keep an eye out for Bloodspot pipefish too; they often share the same habitat as the seahorses.
