המסעדה התת-ימית The underwater restaurant

Honestly, The Underwater Restaurant isn’t going to win any awards for sheer size, but we love its quirky charm. It’s an old restaurant structure sunk intentionally at just 11 metres, making it perfect for newer divers or anyone who fancies a long, easy explore. We’ve spent many a no-decompression minute poking around its various rooms, imagining what it must have been like with tables and chairs. The main draw here is the light. Because it’s so shallow, sunlight streams through the window frames and open doorways, illuminating the resident cardinalfish and often a few lionfish lurking in the shadows. Look closely at the ceiling beams and you'll spot nudibranchs, often some vibrant orange ones. Our favourite bit is swimming through the main dining area; the soft corals have started to really take hold, painting the walls in purples and yellows. It’s a gentle, relaxing dive that feels a bit like exploring a submerged art installation. It’s also fantastic for photographers, especially early morning when the light is at its best and there are fewer divers around.
