    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Sirnaka Island offers a straightforward dive, often done as a drift. We’ve spotted Long-beaked and Bridled Dolphins here, usually in the blue. Keep an eye out for Cowfish amongst the coral patches and Small giant clams along the reef wall. It’s a good choice for divers looking for a relaxed experience with a chance for pelagic encounters.
