Why dive here
Barakuda Lahami Bay is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 23-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Barakuda Lahami Bay offers a relaxed dive, often as a second or third dip of the day. We’ve found it’s a good spot to just settle in and appreciate the smaller stuff that might get overlooked at flashier sites. Keep an eye out for the Bluestripe Pipefish, they blend in well but are worth seeking out amongst the reef structure. While sightings of False killer whales or White Dolphins are rare, if you’re lucky enough to be in the water when they pass through, it’s truly something. It’s a gentle dive, good for those wanting an easy drift or a longer look at a smaller patch of reef.
