Why dive here
Lima Rock (South) is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-34°C, warmest July, August, September.
Lima Rock (South) is a solid intermediate dive, a pinnacle that drops to about 26 metres. It’s not the most colourful reef in the world, but it’s consistent for finding critters. We often spot moray eels tucked into the crevices, and schools of snapper hang around the deeper sections. If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-navigate dive with a decent chance of seeing some good fish life, this is a good pick for a relaxed afternoon.
