    Villa Koraffi, a short boat ride north of Port Ghalib, is a mellow drift along a sloping coral garden. We typically see a gentle current pushing us south, making for an easy, relaxing dive down to around 20 meters. Keep an eye out for green turtles cruising by and the occasional whitetip reef shark resting on the sand. There’s a good chance of spotting eagle rays, and we’ve had some fantastic encounters with spinner dolphins here, too. It's a great spot for a relaxed morning dive, particularly if you’re looking for a good chance at pelagics without the need for advanced skills.
