Sataya South
Why dive here
Sataya South 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.
Sataya South is famous for its resident pod of spinner dolphins, often seen playing in the shallows. We've spent many hours here, just floating, watching them pass. It’s a gentle drift dive along a sandy bottom, reaching about 20 meters, with scattered coral heads. Ideal for those seeking a relaxed dive and guaranteed dolphin encounters.
