    Makadi Garden offers a relaxed dive, a good spot if you’re looking for a quieter afternoon or an easier second dive. We’ve found the reef slopes gently, presenting a decent spread of hard and soft corals. You’ll often see schools of fusiliers cruising by, and if you keep an eye on the sand patches, we’ve spotted blue-spotted rays tucked in. It’s a comfortable dive, not too deep, making it a good choice for newer divers or those who prefer a less demanding profile. Don’t expect ripping currents or massive pelagics here, but it’s reliably pleasant.
