Ot Di Ma

Ot Di Ma sits a decent boat ride from the main dive hubs, which usually means fewer divers on the line. We love that. The reef itself starts shallow, around 5m, then rolls down to about 21m before dropping into deeper water. Our favourite part here is the coral garden, particularly the large plate corals that feel ancient, like they’ve been growing for centuries. Look closely on them for Seastar Shrimp or Pygmy Seahorses, they blend in well. We’ve seen reef manta rays glide through the blue here, so keep an eye out beyond the reef edge, especially if there's a gentle current. The fish life is a solid mix – we’ve consistently spotted schools of fusiliers, various surgeonfish, and those fascinating sidespotted dragonets dancing over the sand. It’s a site that rewards slow diving, suitable for anyone who enjoys a peaceful drift over healthy corals and wants to search for the smaller stuff, with the added bonus of potential pelagic sightings. Visibility is usually a comfortable 15m, sometimes more.
