Why dive here
Swimthrough reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Swimthrough Reef offers exactly what the name implies: a series of captivating swimthroughs carving through the reef. It’s a fun dive for those who enjoy navigating these natural tunnels, with light shafts often cutting through the darker sections. We'd suggest this site for divers who appreciate interesting topography and don't mind a lack of large pelagics. Visibility here is generally quite good, making the passages easy to explore.
