Gota Sataia 1
Why dive here
Gota Sataia 1 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.
Gota Sataia 1, often called Dolphin House, is a horseshoe-shaped reef. It’s a popular spot to encounter spinner dolphins resting in the lagoon. We often see these pods around the reef’s sheltered interior, making it a great place for snorkelers and divers hoping for a dolphin encounter. Currents can pick up on the outer reef, but inside it’s generally calm.
