    Papaz offers a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the rust or for newer divers. The reef here slopes gently, hosting sponges and a scattering of small nudibranchs if you look closely. You’ll often spot damselfish and a few curious groupers peeking from under ledges. It's a straightforward site, ideal for an easy afternoon in the water.
