Why dive here
Laguna Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Laguna Reef, up in the Straits of Tiran, is often a relaxed start to a day of diving. We've seen it used as a handy checkout dive, or a chance to reacquaint yourself with the gear after a break. It's a shallow, fringing reef with gentle slopes, a good spot to potter around and find your buoyancy again. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs tucked away on the coral bommies; we’ve found a few unusual ones there over the years. We’d suggest it for newer divers, or anyone keen on a slow, easy dive before the big drift dives of Jackson or Gordon Reef.
