Why dive here
South Laguna Reef, Tiran Island is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
South Laguna Reef offers a shallow, protected dive, ideal for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. It’s mostly sand patches with scattered coral heads, not a dense reef, but you’ll often spot stingrays settled on the bottom. We’ve also seen bluespotted rays and sometimes a turtle grazing. It’s calm, predictable, and a good spot to practice buoyancy.
