    Dahayla South offers a relaxed dive, a nice drift along a gently sloping reef. We often find ourselves just floating, watching the Sebae Anemones sway, their Actor Coral Gobies darting in and out. Keep an eye out for Crown Butterflyfish cruising the coral heads, and if you’re lucky, a pod of bottlenose dolphins might even pass by in the blue. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace, great for photographers or anyone wanting an easy dive after a strenuous week.
